Perception

I step out of the car
Heels hit the pavement
Watch in amazement
A shining star in the dark
But not in the best way
My flaws are on display

Who would've known
That this would be me five years from then?
Too scared to show it
I should be closer to perfect

I'll learn to live with my decisions
Oh-oh-oh
You choose to stick with me all through it
Oh-oh-oh
Cause my perception
Paired with indecision
These expectations
Feel like regulations
But your perception
Is of perfection
Perception
It's all perception

Pretend to be who I'm not
I've just got to fake it
Until I've made it
This is my only shot
Live up to their standards
Prepare the right answers

Who would've known
That this would be me a decade from then?
Too scared to show it
I should be closer to perfect

I'll learn to live with my decisions
Oh-oh-oh
You choose to stick with me all through it
Oh-oh-oh
Cause my perception
Paired with indecision
These expectations
Feel like regulations
But your perception
Is of perfection
Perception
It's all perception

We step onto the floor
Both of us have left feet
Pretend we're on the street
No eyes on us anymore
Put your arms around me
Dance like no one's watching

I'll learn to live with my decisions
Oh-oh-oh
You choose to stick with me all through it
Oh-oh-oh
Cause my perception
Paired with indecision
These expectations
Feel like regulations
But your perception
Is of perfection
Perception
It's all perception
