She's As Close As I Can Get
In Pursuit of Imperfection: A Love Found
Lyrics
Her hair should be a little darker
Desires her hair to be slightly darker
And her eyes should be a deeper blue
Wishes her eyes were a deeper shade of blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
Acknowledges her imperfections but is content to have found her
Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you.
Expresses that she's the closest he can get to loving someone else
She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
Believes she is unaware of being used and fears hurting her
If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you
She's unwittingly fitting the role he had envisioned for someone else
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
Feels conflicted about loving her in the manner he does
But she's as close as I can get to loving you.
Reiterates that she's the closest to the person he originally loved
You'd've proved of the way that she dresses
Approves of her style of dressing, resembling his ideal
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
Details how he influenced her style and appearance
I taught her everything I remember
Claims to have taught her everything resembling the original love interest
And she's as close as I can get to loving you.
Reaffirms that she's the closest he can find to his original love
She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
Repeats concern about her unwitting role in his emotions
If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you
Highlights her unknowing participation in his envisioned scenario
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
Continues to grapple with the morality of his feelings towards her
But she's as close as I can get to loving you.
Confirms her proximity to the original object of his affection
She's as close as I can get to loving you
Reiterates her closeness to the person he initially loved
