[Genre: Emotional Pop Ballad, Cinematic/Acoustic] [Tempo: Medium-Slow] [Vocal Style: Warm Female, Tender, Reflective, A late-night letter to myself — imperfect, but true.] --- **[Verse 1]** Doesn’t have to be a perfect garden, Doesn’t have to be a flawless plan. Doesn’t have to be a shining stage — Just turn the page, just turn the page. **[Verse 2]** Doesn’t have to be a perfect woman, Doesn’t have to be a flawless plan. The hand I held, the kindness I have shown, Is better than the woman I am. **[Pre-Chorus]** I’m done with all the *shoulds* and all the *musts*, Turning *future fear* to *present trust.* **[Chorus]** Only the perfect tense of action’s good enough, I have loved, I have bloomed — and that’s enough. The past is certain, the future’s free, The perfect tense is setting me free. **[Bridge]** I have been here, I have done this, Every flaw still feels like bliss. Time won’t wait, but I can breathe — In what I’ve done, I just believe. **[Outro]** I have been here... I have done this... And that is good enough. ---
