Fail
Kendall Payne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am not a perfect girl, nor are you a perfect man
But we have found each other here
Inside this wild and crazy world
And somehow make a perfect match

You bring out the worst in me
But it’s the side I need to see
And through the conflicts and the difference
And damage done
We are strong and still are one

You will fail me, you will fail me
Again and again and again
And I will fail you, I will fail you
Again and again and again
Again and again and again

But we will learn to love in spite of failure
Yes we will learn to love because of failure
And we will stay together

We are broken human fools
We are selfish, we are cruel
But there is hope for the exception




To someday become the rule
Let it start with me, let it start with you

Overall Meaning

The song Fail by Kendall Payne is a heartfelt ode to love and human imperfection. The opening lines, "I am not a perfect girl, nor are you a perfect man / But we have found each other here / Inside this wild and crazy world / And somehow make a perfect match" set the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics acknowledge that both the singer and her partner are flawed and imperfect, but have still managed to find each other and create something beautiful together amidst the chaos and unpredictability of life.


The song also explores the idea that it is through our mistakes and failures that we can learn to love even more deeply. The chorus, "You will fail me, you will fail me / Again and again and again / And I will fail you, I will fail you / Again and again and again / Again and again and again / But we will learn to love in spite of failure / Yes we will learn to love because of failure / And we will stay together" emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and resilience in a relationship. The repetition of "again and again and again" reinforces the idea that we will never be perfect, but that doesn't mean we can't still love and care for each other through the ups and downs.


Overall, Fail is a powerful and honest reflection on the complexities of love and the beauty that can be found in imperfection.
