Perfect Songtext
von Fady Maalouf

Standing in the doorway
Is the most perfect little thing I′ve ever known
But she's crying, letting it all out
So frustrated by the things she can′t control
And from the moment that she wakes in the morning
Till the stars are coming out at night
So immaculately dressed, never fails to do her best
But this fire that burns is never satisfied

You can be way up high
But it's not so far to fall
It's all these imperfections
Keep me coming back for more
Don′t be so hard on yourself
All you can do is try
Baby, wipe away the tear that′s in your eye
Who needs to be perfect?
Who wants to be perfect?


Racing, always chasing
Just slow down and breathe it in, then let it go
There's no hurry, we got all night
Cause you say it is, doesn′t make it so
I know that some days they go on forever
And there's nothing you can do to make it right
When it gets too much to bear
Just know that I′ll be there
With a love that's as plain as black and white

You can be way up high
But it′s not so far to fall
It's all these imperfections
Keep me coming back for more
Don't be so hard on yourself
All you can do is try
Baby, wipe away the tear that′s in your eye
Who needs to be perfect?
Who wants to be perfect?

Not I

Turn around and take a walk down
The boulevard of broken dreams
The closer we get
The further away they seem
We′re stranded, we're all hopeless
We′re ships lost at sea
Who needs to be perfect?
Who wants to be perfect?


You can be way up high
But it's not so far to fall
It′s all these imperfections
Keep me coming back for more
Don't be so hard on yourself
All you can do is try
Baby, wipe away the tear that′s in your eye
Who needs to be perfect?
Who wants to be perfect?
Who needs to be perfect?
Who wants to be perfect?

Not I
