[Verse 1]
There’s dishes in the sink
Forgot the cupcakes for your school play
Burnt the toast again
And I wore my shirt the wrong way
I trip over toys
As I’m dancing through the hallway
Hair in a knot
But you still pull on me and say
[Pre-Chorus]
“Mom
You’re funny when you’re trying”
You don’t see that I’ve been crying
In between the dinner rush
And packing bags and packing lunches
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m perfect enough for you
Might miss a step
But I always come back to you
I’ll lose my keys
Lose my cool
Never ever lose my love
It’s true
I’m not perfect
But I’m perfect enough for you
(For you, for you)
[Verse 2]
I cancel fancy plans
For movie nights in old pajamas
You draw on all the walls
I’m laughing while I call your father
We dance in the fridge light
Ice cream at the wrong time
I mess up the bedtime
But you still beg for “one more rhyme”
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“Mom
You make it magic”
Even when the day’s been tragic
In the chaos
In the clutter
I’m your wife
I’m still your mother
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I won’t always get it right
But I’ll stay up through the night
Glue your wings back when they break
Take the hit for every mistake
I’ll be late
I’ll be tired
Still the one you run to
[whispered vocals] Not perfect
[full voice] But I’m perfect enough for you
[Chorus]
