Some things are better off forgotten
We bury them in places that we really only visit by ourselves
Oh, and you were a version like no other
Oh, they never tell you what to do when all you see is gone
What's the sense in anything when what they say is wrong?
Oh, what do you wanna hear?
Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart
'Cause you're not here?
And oh, why do you wanna know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go
Stop me, I find myself believing
Oh, a story gets rewritten so a blasphemy's permitted once again
Oh, and you were so perfectly imperfect
Oh, they never tell you what to do when all you have are lies
What's the sense in anything, it's just one more goodbye
Oh, what do you wanna hear?
Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart
'Cause you're not here?
And oh, why do you wanna know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go
Oh, yeah
Oh, what do you wanna hear?
Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart
'Cause you're not here?
And oh, why do you wanna know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go
Finally let you go
About This Song
"Imperfect" is a deeply introspective ballad that explores the aftermath of loss and the struggle to process grief when someone significant is no longer present. The song delves into themes of memory, regret, and the painful realization that some experiences are too overwhelming to fully confront, leading to emotional burial and avoidance. Musically, it showcases Stone Sour's softer side with a melancholic melody and Corey Taylor's vulnerable vocal delivery, contrasting sharply with their heavier material. The track captures the raw confusion of mourning-questioning what's real, what's worth remembering, and how to move forward when fundamental beliefs about life have been shattered. Its emotional honesty and relatable exploration of human fragility make it a standout piece that demonstrates the band's range beyond their typical hard rock sound.
