LYRICS
[Chorus]
If love is real, it leaves room for error,
room to fall and get up better.
I don’t need to be flawless to be enough
I just need grace when I mess it up.
If we’re gonna last through the weather,
we gotta leave room for error.
[Verse 1]
I try to say the right thing every time,
measure every word before it leaves my mind.
I hold myself to standards I can’t keep,
like love is something perfect I should be.
I replay moments, wishing I’d known better,
judge myself for breaking under pressure.
But I’m learning slowly, piece by piece,
that growth was never meant to be clean.
[Chorus]
If love is real, it leaves room for error,
room to fall and get up better.
I don’t need to be flawless to be enough
I just need grace when I mess it up.
If we’re gonna last through the weather,
we gotta leave room for error.
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen hearts shut down from one mistake,
labeled by a moment they couldn’t erase.
We expect perfection dressed as trust,
then wonder why everything breaks on us.
I don’t wanna walk on eggshells anymore,
afraid that one wrong step means losing you for sure.
I want a love that understands
we’re all just learning how to stand.
[Chorus]
If love is real, it leaves room for error,
room to fall and get up better.
I don’t need to be flawless to be enough—
I just need grace when I mess it up.
If we’re gonna last through the weather,
we gotta leave room for error.
[Bridge]
Maybe forgiveness is the proof of love,
not perfection we pretend we’re made of.
I don’t need a spotless history,
I just need you to believe in me.
I’m not asking for mercy without effort—
just patience while I get it together.
I’m trying.
That has to count for something.
