Jeans with a Jean Jacket

For so long, I never really knew you

I always thought you were the villains

For so long, it never really plagued me

I never knew what I was missin'

I know you were trying

I just didn't know it then

I'm sorry it took me so long

To see you as friends

Well nobody's perfect

And we've got a long way to go

Our pain does not define us

It only helps us grow

Even if it's something dumb and mundane

Like cooking tips or rating movies

We're far away but closer than ever

I truly see you finally

I know you were tryin'

I just didn't know it then

I'm sorry it took me so long

To see you as friends

Well nobody's perfect

And we've got a long way to go

Our pain does not define us

It only helps us grow

People say, "Don't turn out like your parents"

But I believe that I can hack it

I don't care if anyone thinks it's tacky

I'll wear jeans with a jean jacket

Whoa-whoa-whoa

I know you were trying

I just didn't know it then

I'm sorry it took me so long

To see you as friends

Well nobody's perfect

And we've got a long way to go

Our pain does not define us

It only helps us grow

Our pain does not define us

It only helps us grow
