INSPIRATION
The trigger for this song was, ‘It’s okay if you don’t have it together, I don’t need perfect, I just need you.’ We spend so much time trying to be perfect in how we look and act when all we really need is to be accepted for exactly who we are. The song “I Don’t Need Perfect” is about the importance of embracing imperfection in a relationship. We don't need perfection, just our partner, however imperfect, but perfect for us, so we can build a foundation on honesty. The song encourages us to embrace the beauty in our flaws and to write our story without any pause, because in a world that demands perfection, love thrives in all its imperfections.
Lyrics
- Verse 1:
I don’t need perfect, I just need you
Cause with you, my heart found a love that’s true.
With every step I take, your love is the guiding clue.
‘Cause you’re the light, when I sing the blues,
I don’t need perfect, I just need you
- Pre-Chorus:
You don’t have to have it all figured out,
It’s okay if things are falling apart.
With every beat of my heart, my love for you grew.
In this world so vast, you’re the one that rings true.
I don’t need perfect, I just need you
- Chorus:
You are imperfect but perfect for me.
We’ve built a foundation on honesty,
It’s okay if everything isn’t brand new,
I don’t need perfect, I just need you.
- Verse 2:
When the burdens of life weigh me down,
You’re the sight that turns me around.
With you, I’ve found a love that grew and grew.
Through highs and lows, it’s steadfast and true.
I don’t need perfect, I just need you
- Pre-Chorus:
In a world that demands perfection,
Our love thrives in its imperfection.
Let’s embrace the beauty in our flaws,
Writing our story without any pause.

Side by side, come what may.

You’re the anchor that keeps my heart true.

I don’t need perfect, I just need you
