Perfectionist

It's crazy how hard you try to make yourself seem put together When you know nobody else has it figured out any better And you've got a voice but you're scared to make noise Cause who will listen And if you don't say it right, then you'll sabotage your first impression Girl, I promise You don't have to try so hard To be so polished When the only thing you wanna do is fall apart Lay down the load, just take a rest There ain't nobody you need to impress Don't you know everyone sees all the good that you are Perfectionist You've tried your whole life to be someone the world can be proud of Pushing and pulling and building yourself from the ground up But around every bend, doubts fill your head, make you question If you've got what it takes not to crumble down under the pressure Girl, I promise You don't have to try so hard To be so polished When the only thing you wanna do is fall apart Lay down the load, just take a rest There ain't nobody you need to impress Don't you know everyone sees all the good that you are Perfectionist Oh yeah, I know how it is Aiming for excellence You think you fell short again Won't settle for good enough Won't listen to anyone When they say you've already won But girl, I promise They wanna hear what you have to say They want real and honest So just stop and give yourself a break Lay down the load, uncover yourself You don't have to prove to anybody else Don't you know everyone sees all the good that you are Perfectionist
