Perfect - Live at Apollo

So, Hammersmith, speaking of overcoming fears
It's quite a strange time, isn't it right now, I feel like
There's so much darkness and there's a literal, like, eclipse happening tomorrow
And it's kind of, I don't know about you, but it's made me feel really kind of insecure
And really highlighting all the flaws that I find, I normally am quite good at hiding

Um, but so, this next song is about embracing those flaws
And the fact that no one really cares about them apart from us
And the thing that connects us with other people, and it's like
I can feel your energy, Hammersmith, and I can see your faces
And to me, right here in this moment, as you are, you are completely perfect
Cover my acne scars, hide my stretch marks
Hide the ugliest parts of myself
And I've lived in fear for so many years
That I would never be enough

Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
Then it hits me, Lord above
That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore

I have learned to trust and listen to my gut
Find the gold in rust of my scars
And you have held me down and I'm rising now
'Cause you don't know the things I'm made of

Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
Then it hits me like a drug
That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect

Whoa, oh no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh no (so much more than broken)
Oh, oh no, oh (my heart is wide open)
Oh, oh no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh no (so much more than broken)
Oh, oh no, oh (my heart is wide open)

But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
Then it hits me, Lord above
My scars fill with gold, it's
So much more than broken
My heart is wide open
My scars fill with gold, it's
So much more than broken
My heart is wide open

Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
Then it hits me, Lord above
Maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore

Thank you so much
