So Perfect

She finds it hard to breathe
The reflections that she sees
It's killing her, she's not the girl she wants to be

And so, she's making up her face
She's trying to replace, the tears
With the smile that she is famous for

And now, surrounded by the lights
Everything's alright, she laughs
And they're lining up to see it
Yeah, she'll do, anything
For her invisible soul to be seen

And we all fall for the dream
Playing larger than life on our tv screen
We can't see nothing can be so perfect
And we all want to be loved
To be somebody everyone's thinking of
Can't you see no one can be so perfect

Now me, I'm taking out the trash
I'm scraping up the cash
It's killing me, I'm not the girl I want to be

And so, I practice my escape
I pray for better days
I'm tired, but I'm damned if I'll be here forever

Now, I'm searching for the lights
Where everything's alright
And it's me, they'll be lining up to see
Yeah, I'll do, anything
My invisible soul to be seen

And we all fall for the dream
Playing larger than life on our tv screen
We can't see nothing can be so perfect
And we all want to be loved
To be somebody everyone's thinking of
Can't you see no one can be so perfect

When finally
We reveal reality
Illusions come crashing down
It's insanity
That we could be a novelty
Just to feel
We're not alone

And we all fall for the dream
Playing larger than life on our tv screen
We can't see nothing can be so perfect
And we all want to be loved
To be somebody everyone's thinking of
Can't you see no one can be so perfect
Nothing can be so perfect
I'll never be so perfect
