The day you walked away You took the quiet I had made My world kept spinning fast Couldn't tell the night from day My mind was chasing signs Trying hard to understand Was it me, was it you Or just life out of hand 'Cause peace was never gone It was just holding onto you So I slowed my heart down Tried to see the truth Love ain't perfect, no It's just real It breaks, it bends But it knows how to heal If it cracks, we don't run We learn how to stay If it breaks, we mend That's how love is made When you love, you find the seams Little doubts inside the dream You start thinking maybe love Isn't quite what it should be But perfection never grew From a heart that never fell It's the glue in what we break That teaches us to build it well Every road I tried to take Led me back to something true Every time I chased my best It looked a lot like you Love ain't perfect, no It's just real It breaks, it bends But it knows how to heal If it cracks, we don't run We learn how to stay If it breaks, we mend That's how love is made All those plans we used to say Late at night, half afraid They don't die, they just wait For the right kind of faith If you ever think of coming back Don't fear the scars we carry in Sometimes love comes back stronger When the glue is holding it in Love ain't perfect, no It's just real It breaks, it bends But it knows how to heal If it cracks, we don't run We learn how to stay If it breaks, we mend That's how love is made Love ain't perfect, no It's just real It breaks, it bends But it knows how to heal If it cracks, we don't run We learn how to stay If it breaks, we mend That's how love is made I'll be here, take your time Heaven knows the perfect when What's meant to be Gets the chance To break, and mend again Oh And mend again
