Imperfect But Ours Lyrics

I know that times are getting hard. All our friends can't find jobs, and heat costs more than we can afford, but I'm not giving up. The clouds may never part for us like they used to, but I am still not giving up on us. We've got mixtapes and we've got heartache, we've got memories we haven't made yet. We've got nights under covers under stars, and we've got days that we never want to end. And I promise we will miss all of this someday. And I promise we will miss these days. And I still remember what if felt like waking next to you, and I still remember the feeling of your breath on my hair. I still remember what it felt like to have you here, and I still remember everything about our lives. And I will always be there to hold you up, and I will always forgive you when we fight, and after all this time I have learned that all those wishes lead to was bad decisions and failure. But you are the one thing that I got right.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is so beautiful, and carries so much meaning. Love and loss, and Laura Stevenson's background vocals are gorgeous. It's a near perfect song.
