Imperfect Days
Perfect Love for Imperfect Days: A Healing Anthem by annsofi & me
Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Expression of surprise, emotion, or emphasis
Oh, oh, oh
Continuation of the emotional expression
Oh, oh
Further continuation of emotional expression
Little girl, I saw you cry today
Observation of a young girl crying
And although you tried so hard to look away
Despite efforts, the girl couldn't hide her emotions
Little girl, I saw that tear down on your cheek
Noticing a tear on her cheek
It was the first time ever I have seen you weak
First time witnessing her vulnerability
Little girl, you're only seventeen
Highlighting her youthfulness
And yet your eyes have seen more than they should have seen
Her eyes have seen hardships beyond her age
Little girl, now they're red as your perfect hair
Her eyes are red from crying
And maybe you are wondering how much I care
Expressing concern about her feelings
Did you think there wouldn't come a day like this
Anticipating a difficult day
When you needed a shoulder more than a kiss?
Needing emotional support more than physical affection
Did you think that you could give your heart away
Can't hide feelings even in tough times
But keep it to yourself on rainy days?
Hoping to keep pain private
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh
Further continuation of emotional expression
Little girl, that's the reason I pulled you aside
Providing comfort and understanding
And said: Baby, I'm aware how much you've tried
Acknowledging her efforts
Little girl, why don't you let me wipe those tears away
Offering to help wipe away tears
'Cause I could need you to wipe away my tears someday
Expressing reciprocal need for support
Did you think there wouldn't come a day like this
Anticipating the need for comfort
When you needed a shoulder more than a kiss?
Repetition of emotional need over physical
Did you think that you could give your heart away
Contradiction between giving and hiding emotions
But keep it to yourself on rainy days?
Desiring privacy during tough times
Did you really think I'd never see you weak?
Assurance of acceptance despite vulnerability
Did you think that it would make you less unique?
Embracing uniqueness even in vulnerability
Let me wipe away those tears from your sweet face
Offering comfort and support
Perfect love was invented for imperfect days
Stating the purpose of perfect love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh
Further continuation of emotional expression
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh
Further continuation of emotional expression
Little girl, one day you'll find your way
Assurance of finding direction in the future
'Til then, perfect love was invented for imperfect days
Validating the purpose of love during difficult times
