The Finish Line

I've read all I need to 
From the look on the mirror
It's getting much clearer to me 
And others around 
That I'm not who I say 
But maybe just for today, I am

Perfection's not guaranteed 
'Cause I don't know what I need 
Work in progress, it seems / This is me

I'm not gonna stop you 
From wanting much better
For needing to weather this storm 
Of assurances broken 
That's swarming our senses 
Breaking down our defenses again
