Perfect on Paper

We’re popping bottles, but we’re home by half past ten

Posting pictures of a party from a king-size bed

Got the angles just right, anything for a like

I’ve forgotten how it feels to show what’s on the inside

Can we take it back for a minute

‘cause I can’t figure life for a living

Every time I act like i’m winning

I know that I’m not

Pretending that I don’t feel the pressure

Tryna live life like I’m made to measure

When I know that I’m greater

Than perfect on paper

I’ve been tryna let it go

Know that I’ve been here before

I tell myself that I am more

Than perfect on paper

Throw it back to the days and the nights we shared

You remind me of a time when I didn’t care

From my head to my feet

You saw the best side of me

What we had it was real but I was just too blind to see

Can we take it back for a minute

‘cause I can’t figure life for a living

Every time I act like i’m winning

I know that I’m not

Pretending that I don’t feel the pressure

Tryna live life like I’m made to measure

When I know that I’m greater

Than perfect on paper

And I’m all alone tonight

I really fucked this up

And I, I saw my name and chased the lights

And I’m all alone tonight

All because I couldn’t see we were greater

Than perfect on paper, no

Can we take it back for a minute

‘cause I can’t figure life for a living

Every time I act like i’m winning

I know that I’m not

Pretending that I don’t feel the pressure

Tryna live life like I’m made to measure

When I know that I’m greater

Than perfect on paper

Can we take it back for a minute

‘cause I can’t figure life for a living

Every time I act like i’m winning

I know that I’m not

Pretending that I don’t feel the pressure

Tryna live life like I’m made to measure

When I know that I’m greater

Than perfect on paper

Baby I know we’re greater

Than perfect on paper
