Perfect Imperfection

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder And you said I was beautiful to you But you never said when it would be over Or how soon we would be through Perfection is what you’re looking for And of course it’s plain to see Perfection is what you want and more And that just can’t be me You should take a look in the mirror And get a good look at yourself Maybe that will make things clearer Maybe you’ll see how I felt When you told me I wasn’t the one for you I wasn’t the perfection that you sought I prayed for days that it wasn’t true And I wished on every star that we hadn’t fought But I guess my efforts were in vain Perfection is too important to you Though you still care for me you claim I guess it’s just not enough for you You know you’re not perfect I don’t know why you want that from me In my eyes you were as close to perfect As anyone could ever be But now I’ll be waiting for the day When I’m good enough to be your selection But to me you will always be in every way My perfect imperfection
