Jeremy Flick - Perfect

Lyin' on the staircase I'm overwhelmed
I listen to myself cuz nobody else will, no
But it ain't about you
So what do I do

Yeah, yeah
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 runnin through my head
But 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 as 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
