Lyrics

I'm not enough for everyone
Haven't got enough time
Not everything I want to be
But I pretend like I'm doin' just fine

I struggle for self control
Not as thin as I'd like
But this world goes round, sun up to black
But Perfectionism doesn't work like that

And I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
What more can I be?
I’m torturing- me

Narrowed straight I walk this path
Follow script and play my part
Perfected lines unforgotten dreams
Never knowing the end or start

How I struggle for my own soul
Not as strong as I'd like
But this war goes on in full attack
And "Perfect" is my hell and back

And I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
What more can I be?
Who am I torturing?
Oh

And I can’t be perfect don't you see
Why can't you let me be me
I’m not your hopes, I’m not your dreams
All the pressure, All the pain
All these voices placing blame
They all start to sound the same
But cant you see
That it’s killing me

I can't be perfect
All the time
A little more flawed
A little less blind
But I bend, how I break
To fit the mold
That I somehow have
Cemented In my mind
I wanna be free
Who else can I be?
But simply me
But simply me
