Perfect One
Unraveling Love's Mystery: Waterfront's 'Perfect One'
Lyrics
Don't you talk down to me, don't condescend
Expressing a dislike for being patronized or treated with condescension.
Cause I really don't wanna stay til the end
Desire to avoid staying in the current situation until the end.
So I'll walk away, like yesterday
Choosing to walk away from the situation, likening it to the past.
You laugh and manipulate me with your words
Feeling manipulated by someone's words and laughter.
You call it a blessing, I call it a curse
Perceiving a situation differently, seeing it as a curse rather than a blessing.
What am I to do?
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about how to handle the situation.
But what if you'd
Pondering hypothetical scenarios or possibilities.
Sing to to me like you did oh so long ago
Desiring a return to a past time when the person sang lovingly.
When you told me you loved me so
Recalling a moment when love was professed but expressing skepticism.
But I don't believe
Expressing disbelief or doubt in the professed love.
You asked me to have no fear
Being urged to have no fear, possibly in the face of challenges.
I'm not as strong as you think my dear
Admitting vulnerability and not possessing the strength others perceive.
We know that we're not the same
Acknowledging differences between individuals.
Its a mystery
Referring to the relationship as a mystery.
Cause you're not a perfect ten but you're the perfect one for me
Despite imperfections, considering the person the perfect match.
I just can't accept that you're not worth the time
Struggling to accept that the person may not be worth the emotional investment.
You've looked at me differently all day and night
Observing changes in the way the person looks at the speaker.
Can I do something to help?
Offering assistance or a willingness to help.
Or move on to care for someone else
Considering moving on and caring for someone else.
Sing to to me like you did oh so long ago
Yearning for a return to a past expression of love through singing.
When you told me you loved me so
Recalling a past declaration of love but expressing doubt.
But I don't believe
Maintaining skepticism despite past declarations of love.
You asked me to have no fear
Being urged to have no fear in the face of doubt or uncertainty.
I'm not as strong as you think my dear
Acknowledging personal weakness despite perceived strength.
We know that we're not the same
Recognizing differences in a relationship as a mysterious aspect.
Its a mystery
Reiterating the relationship's mysterious nature.
They say talk is cheap
Questioning the value of words if they have a negative impact.
So why am I fucked up by your words?
Feeling affected or disturbed by the impact of words.
Gotta give it some time
Anticipating a future where the person causing distress will be gone.
You'll be gone and I'll just be a blur
Expecting personal emotions to fade with time.
Sing to to me like you did oh so long ago
Desiring a return to a past expression of love through singing.
When you told me you loved me so
Recalling a past declaration of love but expressing doubt.
But I don't believe
Maintaining skepticism despite past declarations of love.
You asked me to have no fear
Being urged to have no fear in the face of doubt or uncertainty.
I'm not as strong as you think my dear
Acknowledging personal weakness despite perceived strength.
We know that we're not the same
Recognizing differences in a relationship as a mysterious aspect.
Its a mystery
Reiterating the relationship's mysterious nature.
Cause you're not a perfect ten and you're not the one for me
Despite imperfections, concluding that the person is not the perfect match.
