I like to set a standard I'll never reach

Cause shooting for the stars is all they preach

The only thing that sucks more than letting yourself down

Is trying to save a shipwreck until you drown

(I just wanna be perfect)

I think I hate myself

But maybe I, maybe I just hate this song

I think I hate myself

But maybe it's cause I'm fed up and I'm

Over overthinking

I'm so damn indecisive

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong

I just wanna be perfect

It's all or nothing when my mind has tunnel vision

With no direction thanks to indecision

The only that keeps me from self-destruction

Is my own battle with procrastination

(I just wanna be perfect)

But I don't deserve it

I think I hate myself

But maybe I, maybe I just hate this song

I think I hate myself

But maybe it's cause I'm fed up and I'm

Over overthinking

I'm so damn indecisive

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong

I just wanna be perfect

I know I might be insane

For trying to save a dying flame

Telling me I'll never live the dream

Is putting out the match with gasoline

I think I hate myself

But maybe I, maybe I just hate this song

I think I hate myself

But maybe it's cause I'm fed up and I'm

Over overthinking

I'm so damn indecisive

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong

I just wanna be perfect

(Na Na Na)

I just wanna be perfect
