I'm a train wreck in the morning I'm a bitch in the afternoon Every now and then without warning I can be really mean towards you I'm a puzzle, yes, indeed Ever-complex in every way And all the pieces aren't even in the box And yet you see the picture clear as day I don't know why you love me And that's why I love you You catch me when I fall Accept me, flaws and all And that's why I love you And that's why I love you And that's why I love you I neglect you when I'm working When I need attention, I tend to nag I'm a host of imperfection And you see past all that I'm a peasant by some standards But in your eyes I'm a queen You see potential in all my flaws And that's exactly what I mean I don't know why you love me And that's why I love you You catch me when I fall Accept me, flaws and all And that's why I love you And that's why I love you And that's why I love you I don't know why you love me And that's why I love you You catch me when I fall Accept me, flaws and all And that's why I love you And that's why I love you And that's why I love you
