Imperfect Struggle: Embracing Vulnerability in Love
Lyrics
I wanna be perfect
I desire to achieve perfection.
I wanna be perfect for you
I want to be perfect specifically for you.
You can tell that I'm hurting
It's evident that I'm experiencing emotional pain.
I don't know how to hide it from you
I don't know how to conceal my pain from you.
And I know I'm still learning
I acknowledge that I'm still in the process of learning and growing.
And this ain't nothing like what I'm used to
The current situation is unfamiliar and different from what I'm accustomed to.
But as the days keep turning
As time passes, I contemplate whether you share similar feelings as I do.
I wonder if you feel the same things I do
I question if you experience the same emotions as I do.
Take it easy on me
I request understanding and leniency from you.
I been fighting with my mind
I've been engaged in a mental struggle.
It's so exhausting
The mental struggle is exhausting.
I love you but I'm terrified
Despite my love for you, I'm fearful and anxious.
I'm scared of falling
I'm afraid of falling into emotional turmoil.
I'm insecure although I try
Despite efforts, I grapple with feelings of insecurity.
To deny and justify
I try to deny and rationalize my insecurities.
And I got demons on the side
There are internal struggles and challenges I face.
And they ain't hiding
These challenges are not hidden; they are apparent.
No
Confirmation of the previous statement.
I feel like you're perfect
I perceive you as perfect.
I've never felt like this before
I've never felt this way before.
Do I even deserve it
Questioning whether I deserve the perceived perfection in my life.
You're everything that I could ask for
You embody everything I could wish for.
I don't want to be a burden
I don't want to be a source of trouble or burden.
Leaving my bullshit on the floor
Expressing a desire to leave personal issues behind.
You can tell that I'm hurting
Reiteration of emotional pain being evident.
But baby I swear I'm so much more
Despite the pain, I insist that I am more than my struggles.
I'm tryna learn to take it easy
Expressing a commitment to learning and growth.
I been fighting with my mind
Reiteration of the mental struggle.
It's so exhausting
Restating the exhausting nature of the mental conflict.
I love you but I'm terrified
Despite love, the fear of emotional vulnerability persists.
I'm scared of falling
Reiteration of the fear of falling into emotional distress.
I'm insecure although I try
Despite efforts, feelings of insecurity persist.
To deny and justify
Continued denial and justification of personal insecurities.
And I got demons on the side
Reiteration of internal struggles and challenges.
And they ain't hiding
Emphasizing that these challenges are not concealed.
I don't wanna complain
Expressing a reluctance to complain.
It's me and it's not you babe
Clarifying that personal struggles are internal and not a reflection of the other person.
My heart just breaks and you can't feel my pain
Despite the heartache, the other person may not fully understand the pain.
I don't wanna complain
Reiteration of the reluctance to complain.
It's me and it's not you babe
Restating that personal struggles are internal.
And I keep chasing every word you say
Continued pursuit of the ideals presented by the other person.
I wanna be perfect
Reiteration of the desire to be perfect.
I wanna be perfect for you
Reiterating the desire to be perfect specifically for the other person.
