Perfect

Lying on the staircase I'm overwhelmed
I listen to myself 'cuz nobody else will know

But it ain't about you
So what do I do
(Yeah, yeah, hey)

But now it's got me upset
Everything I say is a game and I'm losing
So much for being flawless
Thoughts keep coming to my brain I'm not choosing

And now it's got me hopeless
Doubting every word that I say
I prefer to be brave
But I'm learning to live in the moment

For so long I thought that I was perfect
For so long I thought that I was perfect
I made mistakes and I believed
That nobody was right but me
For so long I thought that I deserved this
Thought that I was perfect

I'm staring at the ceiling fan again
Round and round it goes like the thoughts that are stuck up in my head
I don't wanna fight in this war
Everything I do I'm feeling selfish
Why don't I like me no more?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

But now it's got me upset
Tears come streaming down my face and I'm screaming out
I'm puffin up my whole chest
Words can't keep up with my brain so I write 'em down

Am I supposed to hope less?
If I cannot perfect, than what's the point of working?
It's page after page after page
And my pen is out of ink now

(Yeah)
I tried stretching, I tried yoga
I tried partying and stunting, two times over
Thought I was living life perfect, but I was so-so
Now I'm shooting for the stars, Han Solo

Life's better in the making, no promo
And give yourself a little grace, un poco
He be coming back soon, no slow poke
His love's free for the taking, pro bono
(Woo)

For so long I thought that I was perfect
For so long I thought that I was perfect
I made mistakes and I believed
That nobody was right but me
For so long I thought that I deserved this
Thought that I was perfect

For so long I thought that I was perfect
For so long I thought that I was perfect
Afraid to live, afraid to choose
Afraid to love, afraid to lose
So long I thought I deserved it
Thought I was perfect
