Perfect Imperfection

There's a girl standin' on a corner

Watchin' love walk right out her door

Thought that love was like a shiny diamond

Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw

Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours

Wishin' he would change his mind

Caught in that paradox of feelings

Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine



Love is a perfect imperfection

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Whenever love comes your direction

Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide



You know that there's no reason

For you to be alone

Just 'cause love's treason

Broke, broke you happy home

You can't celebrate

When all you feel is sufferin' heartache



Goin' down to that lonely corner

Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet

Wish I could walk, walk right up to her

And tell her what I know of love

What I know, it ain't always so sweet



Love is a perfect imperfection

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Whenever love comes your direction

Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide



Love is a perfect imperfection

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Whenever love comes your direction

Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
