Perfect

I'll let you in but I won't let you see

I'm not as strong as people like to think

If you're too close afraid you'll see I bleed

The pedestal is crumbling underneath my feet

Why does it feel I'm always in rehearsal

Been acting out the roles that you want me to play

If I show you all my secrets

Would you want me the same way

Don't wanna live in your lies

But I'm too scared to remove the disguise

You'll see the ugly inside of me

And I'm folding under pressure

It won't let up

Don't want you thinking less of me

Am I not worth it

If I'm not if I'm not perfect

I've given myself up to be this person

That's just not me

Am I deserving

If I'm not if I'm not perfect

Ive tried to hide the parts of me thats broken

So you could want me

I've been hurting

And in disbelief

I deserve good things

And I can be mean on purpose

If you test my patience

Then you'll see my true nature

(And you'll hate her)

Perfect is a cage not a compliment

And I'm tired of tryna live up to what people think

(Tired tryna live up to it)

I don't want the part if I lose parts me

I hate this persona

That's word to my mama

(Don't wanna)

Don't wanna live in your lies

But I'm too scared to remove the disguise

You'll see the truth all the lies won't speak

And I'm folding under pressure

It won't let up

Don't want you seeing the worst of me

Am I not worth it

If I'm not if I'm not perfect

I've given myself up to be this person

That's just not me

Am I deserving

If I'm not if I'm not perfect

I've tried to hide the parts of me thats broken

So you could want me
