Perfect
Perfect makeup, perfect hair
Eyes that can’t quite meet your stare
Perfect answers on the test
Always got to be the best
Perfect athlete, perfect game
Perfect pills, forgot the name
Days in bed, don’t fall apart
Assignments due, forgot to start
Nervous chatter, you’re a mess
Looking pretty in that dress
Perfect lined up life now ready
Hold those breaking fingers steady
No one wants to see you cry -
So God, you try and try and try.
