Perfectly imperfect dreaming of you
of your goodness that rings so true
Your perfect kisses bring on the heat
Romance on the rise, my heart skips a beat


Going for it in your perfectly imperfect way
Embracing life’s gifts each and everyday
Perfection is your target, in each mark that you hit
A bullseye of love is your imperfect true bit
Your gains are eclipsing losses, that’s how perfect you are
You, so perfectly imperfect set today’s perfection bar

Chorus
Our imperfect wishes, wrapped up in the twilight and the sun
Bring on our dreams and, give them a run
Together, perfection is not for the feign
Perfectly imperfect our love will reign

Perfectly imperfect thinking of you
Of your kindness, that’s how you rule
Your perfect touch melts my tears away
No longer alone, for the night and the day

Perfectly happy about the dragons I slay
Basking in the goals that I conquer today
Perfect imperfection is the skin that you wear
Living life’s challenges, its truths and its dares
Honestly imperfect, righting each wrong
Imperfectly taking on life’s open rebound

Chorus
Our imperfect wishes, wrapped up in the twilight and the sun
Bring on our dreams and, give them a run
Together, perfection is not for the feign
Perfectly imperfect, our love will reign

Verse
You hold me tightly throughout the night
Bring our passion to greater heights
I feel so wanted and needed in your arms
Your touch so magical with your hidden charms

Verse
But you say, “Don’t’ fall for all of this”
No matter how much I’ll miss your kiss
This is all so real, we both admit
But you tell me to not forget
That your feelings are in the here and now
So, I’ll give my emotions a final bow

Chorus
If this is the way friends should be,
Then I will say goodbye to the lover in me
Maybe I should remember after all
That I do not need to take the fall
If this is the way friends should be
Then I will say goodbye to the lover in me

Verse
You listen to me intently throughout the day
You marvel at what I do and hope to say
I feel so breathless in how we do engage
Your eyes on me with this glowing gaze

Verse
But you say, “You’re okay without me here”
No matter what is inside our hearts, my dear
This is surreal, we both admit
But you tell me to not forget
That my feelings are in the here and now
So, you’ll give your emotions a final bow

Chorus
If this is the way friends should be,
Then I will say goodbye to the lover in me
Maybe I should remember after all
That I do not need to take the fall
If this is the way friends should be
Then I will say goodbye to the lover in me

Refrain
Say goodbye to the lover in me
I only want to be your friend
To our love struck, romantic end
Darling, I will say goodbye to the lover in me
Because this is the way that friends should be

If this is the way friends should be,
Then I will say goodbye to the lover in me
Be friends, forever, and say goodbye to the lover in me

Verse
One day, I will be okay
One day, the past will be shepherded away
One day, I’ll smile at the memory of you and me
One day, I’ll reminiscent of what was to be

Verse
Just because yesterday was not so great
Just because you said you and I were just too late
Just because you said your last goodbye to us
Just because it’s officially over I can be so tough

Chorus
I’m okay with the one day
I’m more than okay to be happy for one day
I’m just okay to live in the moments of what was
Because one day, oh one day, I won’t feel this love

Verse
One day, I will hear your voice on my phone
One day, it will sound familiar, and I won’t be alone
One day, I will gaze at our selfies and laugh so much
One day, I will care, but not miss your touch

Verse
Just because tomorrow is the unknown
Just because there is no way I will hear you phone
Just because we’re no longer linked on IG
Just because we’re individuals, you and me

Chorus
I’m okay with the one day
I’m more than okay to be happy for one day
I’m just okay to live in the moments of what was
Because one day, oh one day, I won’t feel this love
I’m okay with the one day
I’m more than okay to be happy for one day
I’m just okay to live in the moments of what was
Because one day, oh one day, I won’t feel this love

I’m saying goodbye to our past
I’m saying hello to what future lasts
I’m okay with the very one day
Because darling, if you want the one day, you and me one day
We’ll be together for more than one day…

Verse

Life throws a curve ball every single day
Do I sway and dodge to get out of the way?
Or do I face it head on
Take it upon me
To be the one to tell bad times to just let it be

Verse
I’m not always perfect although I try to be right
I’m creative in thought, fixed on problems so slight
I’m a giver, a lover, an imperfect lost soul
I’m kind in my temperament, let’s go with your roll

Chorus
I’m earth, water, fire, and tears
I’m revolutionary, bold, the escape artist of fears
I’m out there doing when the seas are rough
I’m a challenger, a risk taker, when the going gets tough

Verse
Life gives you moments where you want to take it back
Maybe forget that it happened, because why not lose track?
Or do I look forward
Move on with just me
To be the one to tell good times you’re here and you’ll be

Verse
I’m intensely dark, yet sometimes mild and sweet
I’m warm to the touch, so easy to heat
I’m the flow in the air that circulates all around
I’m the breath that I breathe that gives the life I surround

Chorus
I’m earth, water, fire, and tears
I’m revolutionary, bold, the escape artist of fears
I’m out there doing when the seas are rough
I’m a challenger, a risk taker, when the going gets tough

Refrain
Earth, water, fire, and tears
Be bold, I say, I’m the escape artist of fears

I’m earth, water, fire, and tears
I’m revolutionary, bold, the escape artist of fears

Verse
I cannot believe how I felt on that very first day
How happy I was with every word we would say
My heart fully opened with your glowing gaze
Magic is how I would describe that first moment for always

Verse
You played magic tricks, showing me your smarts and your fun
I laughed at your silly jokes – all nonsensical, yes, everyone
No worries. Just joy is how you made me feel
A feeling so loveable, and so very real

Chorus
The real you could not be more real and so true
So much better than any dream
The real you better than what is conjured up it may seem
So much better than what was once on my mind
The real you, no facsimile, yes, the best, for all time

Verse
I cannot believe how it felt on that very first night
How happy I was at what we did and every sight
My soul is ignited with your touching ways
Mind bending is how I would describe that first moment for always

Verse
I played games, showing you my smarts and my fun
You laughed at my double entendres – all creative, yes, everyone
Pure happiness. Just love is how you made me feel
A feeling so joyful, and so very real

Chorus
The real you could not be more real and so true
So much better than any dream
The real you better than what is conjured up it may seem
So much better than what was once on my mind
The real you, no facsimile, yes, the best, for all time

Verse
I watched as you slept into your dreamy state
I wish I could also sleep, as I knew it was late
But I kept thinking instead of the words you did not say
Of the I love you that is missing each and every day

Verse
I felt each breath and felt your cheek
As I lay on my pillow trying not to weep
But the feelings are here, they want to take hold
Of the I love you that I feel yet I want to be bold

Chorus
Now, I cannot wait until you wake up, my darling, my dear
Because I need you to leave, so I can cry and tear
I need to cry out loud for days if that is what it will take
Because when I cry, I will feel the love that you forsake

Verse
I gazed at you throughout the day
I hoped that my dreams would sweep me away
But you seem distant in more ways than one
You’re here, but not really, not even for fun

Verse
I haven’t felt your heart linked with mine
This is the truth at this space and time
Love is haunting me every moment of everyday
Of a memory of what was to be always

Chorus
Now, I cannot wait until you wake up, my darling, my dear
Because I need you to leave, so I can cry and tear
I need to cry out loud for days if that is what it will take
Because when I cry, I will feel the love that you forsake

Verse
I want no reciprocation, just the ability to love
I want to hold honestly to my feelings so tight like a glove
I need no love in return, just me in love with you
I live with the unrequited love, that’s how I stay true
Don’t tell me it isn’t love because you don’t love me
Because the worst isn’t you not loving me, but you not letting me be

Verse
I live truthfully with what I feel coursing through my veins
Not blinded, but not fearful that I am truly insane
I live in each moment, full of knowledge of who I am
I can only live with my heart full of emotion that I feel and I send

Chorus
I’m free falling in love
No boundaries are above
No one to hold me back
From what I feel in free falling love

I feel my heart racing
I feel my tears flowing
I feel my mind focused
I’m free falling in love

Verse
I live in trust of what you mean to me and how deep I care
This love that I feel is where I play my truth or dare
I ask myself only of what is inside my own heart
I cannot know what is exactly missing on your part

Verse
I want no one to tell me to get over my heart that breaks
Or to tell me that it is infatuation, so this I must mistake
I live with knowing that some think it is all a fantasy in my mind
Don’t tell me it isn’t love, no really love is just blind

Chorus
I’m free falling in love
No boundaries are above
No one to hold me back
From what I feel in free falling love

I feel my heart racing
I feel my tears flowing
I feel my mind focused
I’m free falling in love

Verse

Perfectly in love with imperfectly you
Pure perfection is this feeling, so real and true
Perfectly imperfect, my heart skips a beat
Perfect soaring feeling, turn up the heat

Verse
You bring out the imperfect because imperfect is true
It’s as close to perfection, this is imperfect in you
I’m as perfectly imperfect as real as I can be
Bask in our imperfection, that is you and that’s me

Chorus

Purely. Insanely. Ridiculously Perfectly Imperfect
So perfectly imbalanced is how I feel each day
When my heart does somersaults at the site of your ways
Richly. Creatively. Amazingly Perfectly Imperfect
So imperfectly soaring feelings that overcome me
Where my heart ricochets for what is to be

Verse

Perfectly in love by imperfectly me
Pure perfection is how this is all meant to be
Perfectly imperfect, my heart skips a beat
Perfect soaring feeling, turn up the heat

Verse

Your love is perfectly imperfect
The best it can be is so imperfectly right
Yes, the sight of you is so perfect in its own right
Your love is so perfectly imperfect

Chorus

Purely. Insanely. Ridiculously Perfectly Imperfect
So perfectly imbalanced is how I feel each day
When my heart does somersaults at the site of your ways
Richly. Creatively. Amazingly Perfectly Imperfect
So imperfectly soaring feelings that overcome me
Where my heart ricochets for what is to be
