Weekend Assignment

Song Title:Perfect
Band: Hedley

Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

Making every kind of silence, it takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I wrong

I know that I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

When you're caught in a lie and you've got nothing to hide
When you've got nowhere to run and you've got nothing inside
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me
You thought that you knew

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my, just myself
Just myself, myself, just myself

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying


I feel that this song is very touching and meaningful. The lyrics of this song teaches us many things. This is is dedicated to the singer's wife. His wife might have felt that the singer was too incompetent, imperfect, and does not have a good personality and is on the verge of leaving. The Singer loves his wife alot and does not wish to see her leave. Thus, he wants to apologize to his wife for him being imperfect through this song.He also does not want to give up thus he sings "I won't fall, even if you said I wrong". The singer's perseverance and his faithfulness and his love for his wife really impacted me. This song taught me that I should treasure whatever relationships that i have now. And we should also now judge people if they are not perfect as no one is perfect.
