The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMirabel thinks one hug can save the miracle. She finds Isabela furious: the perfect engagement is wrecked, Luisa cannot lift an empanada, and Mariano's nose looks like smashed papaya. A fake apology gets her thrown out. Then Isabela cracks: she has been stuck being perfect her whole life, and she never wanted to marry him. Something unexpected grows, and the song asks what else she can do if it does not have to be perfect.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“I've been stuck being perfect my whole entire life!”
我一辈子都被钉在完美上出不来!
stuck being 把人设说成牢房,whole entire 叠词把时间砸死。
be stuck being + 身份。
抱怨自己被钉在某种角色、没法做别人时。
I've been trapped being the good one. / I spent my life having to be perfect.
informal
stuck 加力,perfect 拉长再砸 life。
“I never wanted to marry him! I was doing it for the family!”
我根本不想嫁给他!我是为了这个家才答应的!
两句对砍:私心和家命,doing it for 把牺牲说成任务。
I was doing it for + 对象。
承认某件大事不是为自己、是为集体时。
I only agreed for the family. / I never wanted this. I did it for them.
informal
never 加重,for the family 下沉收住。
“I want something true Don't you?”
我想要真的东西,你呢?
用 true 顶掉 pretty,再甩一个 Don't you 把妹妹拉进来。
I want something + 形容词. Don't you?
厌倦表面功夫、想拉对方一起改方向时。
I want something real. Don't you? / I'm done with pretty. I want honest.
