It's Ok if Not Perfect

(Verse 1)

I see you tracing every line you drew today

Wishing every one would go a certain way

I hear you whisper to the fading light

Saying,"It's almost, but it's never quite right"

You measure every word before it leaves your mouth

A fortress built on worry, North and South

You think we only see the slip, the fall

The cracks within the wall...

(Pre-Chorus 1)

But what if I told you...

What if I said...

(Chorus 1)

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY IF NOT PERFECT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

LET THE COLORS RUN, LET THEM BLEED!

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE STILL WORTH IT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

A MASTERPIECE OF TRYING IS WHAT I SEE!

So let it go, that heavy ghost!

What you need the very most...

Is to know...

It's okay if not perfect.

Yeah, it's okay.

(Post-Chorus)

Yeah... it's okay...

Mmm...

(Verse 2)

That photograph where your smile's a little shy

The"failed" attempt that made you want to cry

The song you sang a little bit off-key

It sounds like honest life to me

This race you run against a phantom in the glass

Is only meant to lead you to this pass

So lay the armor down, just leave it on the floor...

You don't need it anymore...

(Pre-Chorus 2)

'Cause what matters is the heart...

And the beautiful, imperfect part...

(Chorus 2)

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY IF NOT PERFECT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh! (Even bigger harmonies)

LET THE COLORS RUN, LET THEM BLEED!

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE STILL WORTH IT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

YOUR BEAUTIFUL, UNFINISHED STORY IS WHAT I SEE!

So let it go, that heavy ghost! (Let it go!)

What you need the very most...

Is to know...

It's okay if not perfect.

(Bridge)

What if the sunrise, blurred by morning rain?

What if the wildflower, growing through the grain?

Are loved for how they fight, and how they freely grow?

You don't have to be a statue made of snow...

So let it grow, a little wild, a little strange...

SO LET THAT BE THE CHANGE YOU FINALLY EMBRACE!

Let it go! Let it go-ooh!

(Final Chorus)

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY IF NOT PERFECT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

LET THE COLORS RUN!

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE STILL WORTH IT!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh!

YOUR BEAUTIFUL, UNFINISHED STORY IS WHAT I SEE!

SO LET IT GO, THAT HEAVY GHOST!

WHAT YOU NEED THE VERY MOST!

IS TO KNOW...

...it's okay if not perfect.

Just as you are...

You are so worth it.

(Outro)

Breathe in... breathe out... let the pressure fade...

You were never meant to be a thing you made.

Just be...

Perfectly imperfect...

Every single...

Day...
