And I will run, as fast as I can slam the door as I ran,
I will regret as fast as I left empty handed, bereft
He's not perfection,
I keep expecting
I'm never flawless
The stakes have taught us,
Oh-ayy, ooh-ayy
Empathy and patience
Teach me to wait more
Strength and desire
Take all of it higher
All regret and my shame
They taught me to blame
Now I'm still grieving
Teach me to keep him
But set him free
But set him free
But set him free
But set him free
And we will fight this,
Keep this love focused so we don't lose this emotion
If we don't try this
Like what is slipping through fingers
You catch this love as it lingers
He's not perfection,
I keep expecting
I'm never flawless
The stakes have taught us,
Oh-ayy, ooh-ayy
Empathy and patience
Teach me to wait more
Strength and desire
Take all of it higher
All regret and my shame
They taught me to blame
Now I'm still grieving
Teach me to keep him
But I've set him free,
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've set him free now, baby
Might set him free now, baby
But set him free now, baby
But set him free!
