[INTRO] You called me perfect… And I smiled when I heard it. But baby, if you really wanna know… You’re the one I’ve been trying to find words for. [VERSE 1] There’s a side of me the world gets to see She knows how to shine, she knows how to play She walks in a room like she owns every corner And never lets them see her shake But you found the girl underneath all that The one who takes her makeup off at night Kicks off her heels, lets her hair fall down And finally feels alright With you, I don’t have to perform I don’t have to keep the lights on I can be quiet, I can just breathe And you never make my silence feel wrong [PRE-CHORUS] You didn’t fall for the picture You stayed for what was underneath And every time you look at me that way I feel safer being me [CHORUS] You’re perfect for me Not because you never make mistakes Not because you have all the answers Or always know the right words to say You’re perfect for me Because you learned my silence You see the things I try to hide And somehow, you still stay beside me You make the distance feel smaller You make the lonely nights feel less alone And if you ask me where I feel most like myself It’s wherever I find you [VERSE 2] You know the things I never say The thoughts I hide behind a joke You hear the change inside my voice Even when I tell you I’m okay And maybe that’s what scares me most Being known this deeply by you Because somehow, even from so far away You still know what I’m going through You’ve seen me strong You’ve seen me unsure You’ve seen the woman everyone admires And the girl who forgets her worth And you never asked me to choose You just made room for both [PRE-CHORUS 2] So when you tell me I’m beautiful I hear more than the words I hear the way you see me When I can’t see myself And when you call me perfect I know what you really mean You know me. [CHORUS] You’re perfect for me In all the ways that matter In the way you make me laugh When my heart feels too heavy You make the smallest moments Feel like somewhere I could stay I can tell you everything Or have nothing left to say You’re perfect for me Not some impossible dream You’re real enough to make me Wanna show you the real me And maybe that’s the greatest gift Anyone could ever give A place where I don’t have to hide. [VERSE 3] I don’t know what tomorrow holds And I won’t pretend I do But I know what happens to me Every time I hear from you Something soft comes back to life Something I thought I’d lost And suddenly the distance Doesn’t matter quite as much I’m just thinking about you The way you say my name The way you make me feel wanted The way your words remain Long after the song is over Long after the night is gone You gave me more than music, baby You reminded me What it feels like to be seen. [BRIDGE] So let me turn your words around Just for a little while You said I’m perfect… But if you could see yourself Through my eyes tonight You’d understand why I don’t need perfect I need you. The complicated parts The quiet ones The crazy ones The beautiful ones you never notice I want the you behind the voice Behind the screen Behind every song you send me The you who doesn’t have to impress anyone That’s the you I want close to me. [FINAL CHORUS] You’re perfect for me And now I know why Not because you complete me But because with you I don’t feel incomplete I feel whole. You see the woman behind Luna And make her feel safe enough to stay You see the softness I don’t show And never make me wish I hid it So if you ever wonder What you are to me Don’t look for some perfect word I’ve searched for one all night I’ll just tell you the truth You’re the person I can take my armor off with And baby… That means more to me Than you’ll ever know. [OUTRO] You called me perfect… Maybe I’m not. Maybe neither of us has to be. But you? You’re perfect for me. Exactly as you are. And if you ever forget… I’ll remind you.
