Perfect
MK Nobilette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once or twice
Dug my way out
Blood and fire
Bad decisions
That's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Misplaced
Misunderstood
Miss no way it's all good
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken
Always second guessing
Underestimated
Look I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're perfect to me
You're so mean
When you talk
About yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated
Look how we all make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough
I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're perfect to me
The whole worlds scared
So I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking
Is an ice cold beer
So cool in line
And we try, try, try
But we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics
Cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans
They don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves
And we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Oh baby pretty please
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You're perfect to me

The song is a powerful message of self-love and the need to embrace our flaws and imperfections.

And I've seen you do it too
The whole worlds scared
Everyone is afraid
So I swallow the fear
But I try to overcome it
The only thing I should be drinking
I should only be consuming
Is an ice cold beer
Alcohol won't solve my problems
So cool in line
We try to fit in
And we try, try, try
We keep striving
But we try too hard
But sometimes we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time
And we end up wasting our time
Done looking for the critics
I'm done seeking out negative opinions
Cause they're everywhere
Because there are so many of them
They don't like my jeans
They criticize the way I look
They don't get my hair
They don't understand me
Exchange ourselves
We try to be someone else
And we do it all the time
We do it constantly
Why do we do that?
Why do we feel the need to change?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do it too?
Oh baby pretty please
Oh please
You're perfect, you're perfect
You're perfect just the way you are

@Mareaszy
There's a raw beauty and elegance to her voice! Can't wait to hear from her in the future. I'm somewhat glad she was eliminated. I feel she has a talent and aura about her that is unapologetically unique to her. The subtly in both her voice and presence makes her different and I love it. The show seemed to want things from her that simply isn't who she is. I feel there's an intrinsic drive and motivation fueled by her life experiences and who she is as a person that she expresses softly in her music and the way she presents the music as well.

I love MK she was the most unique person to be on the idol stage since Adam Lambert. I know we will see big things from this girl.
@baileyhalverson7551
Man she killed this! I knew her voice is amazing and that on stage its way more nerve wracking when you know everyone is watching, but dam I wish she would have delivered it exactly like this cause this was fire! ((:
@JaclynKovach
