Perfect (For Me)
©Kelli Cates

Everyone has flaws, no one can deny it
Some of us embrace our worst and some of us just hide it
But why deny the truth when it steps in line
With what's in front of us?  Why ignore the signs?

You are beautiful, your soul is good
And I watch you struggle doing what you should
We all have demons that just bide their time
But I'll deal with yours if you deal with mine

Because you bring out the best and the worst in me
What else could be done so easily?
You may not be perfect, but anyone can see
You may not be perfect, but you're perfect for me

The things we talk about, the things we share
The things we scream at each other when we're not being fair
But the times when I'm wrapped up in your teddy-bear embrace
Is when the flaws and tears and fights and fears erase

Because you bring out the best and the worst in me
And there's strong reflections in our personalities
You may not be perfect, but anyone can see
You may not be perfect, but you're perfect for me

Sometimes you make the stars themselves pale next to you
Sometimes I'm never good enough no matter what I do
But sometimes I catch that hidden pride in your eyes
That I am yours, and you're in love and that I'm the prize.

You bring out the best and the worst in me
What else can be done so easily?
You may not be perfect, but anyone can see
You may not be perfect, but you're perfect for me.
