Nigel Powell - Imperfect Tense lyrics

[Produced By Ben Lloyd & Frank Turner] Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor Somewhere in the city Three days not sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore Drenched in sweat and self-pity now It's not a pretty sight [Chorus] What to say in my defense? I was imperfect, tense Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went So won't you be my present sense? Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time To come down off this murderous medication Trying to remember my reasons for running myself into the ground with such dedication [Chorus] It's not meant to be I am lost at sea So mermaids sing to me Of the better times and the things that can be And of islands in the Mediterranean sea And of eating and sleeping and times when I should And of washing the drink and the d** from my blood And I've nothing to say in my defense I'm far from perfect and I'm still tense They say that love can change you once Please, say that love can change me once Come on change me
