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
