perfect

I laid down and I couldn't relax
Like all the weight on my shoulders
Collapsed on my back

I stayed still and quiet
I made myself small
Bury my head in the sand
I'm beneath it all

That's where I put myself
Nobody else did that
Not gonna blame myself
For how I did react

We grow and learn the ropes and
I had hopes that
Fell when I knew that I couldn't
Please the world and
Put myself first
It's too much doing that

Tried to be perfect, and the bar always shifts
It's like it's hard to care and hard not to give a shit
You choose your hard
There's always some room to complain
I'd rather not hold onto what makes me insane

That's where I put myself
Nobody else did that
Not gonna blame myself
For how I did react

We grow and learn the ropes and
I had hopes that
Fell when I knew that I couldn't
Please the world and
Put myself first
It's too much doing that

And I wanted to be perfect
But who's that for?
Cause it isn't for me and
of that I'm sure

And I wanted to be perfect
But who's that for?
Cause it isn't for me and
of that I'm sure

Of that I'm sure

That's where I put myself
Nobody else did that
Not gonna blame myself
For how I did react

We grow and learn the ropes and
I had hopes that
Fell when I knew that I couldn't
Please the world and
Put myself first
It's too much doing that
