Your Perfect One
Your Perfect One Something swirling inside my head A bleak melody convincing me I am dead An empty picture of who I used to be A soul waiting to be set free My heart beats a rhythm too faint Tired from all these years pretending to be a saint I cannot take the pressure anymore Need to be free to let my spirit soar You think I am perfect, count on me too much I’ve always tried, but I’ll never measure up You expect the world of me and I’ll let you down Then I wonder if you regret having me around I’ve never been much at meeting your criteria The ideal of the perfect girl you found in the media I always wanted to be that perfect daughter But I’m just a lamb being led to slaughter I will never be that porcelain princess But by now that’s something you could’ve guessed I’ve always been the glue to hold us together The gentle breeze that cools the hot weather I do not want to be that girl another day Pretending that it’s all going to be okay Some things are broken and can never be healed The power to mend is one I’ll never wield I am not your god or even a queen I just want to live my life unheard and unseen I am not your perfect one despite what it seems But just for now, I’ll let you control my dreams
