Perfect
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When all the lights go down around you
And the truth is coming up hard
Feel the way you do, now, with no excuses
Cause you're perfect just the way you are
Get the feeling that something surrounds you
Give it all up and watch it fly
Speak soft, dear and let it wash over you
Cause when you give an inch you walk that mile
And you walk that mile so well
You're everything you were ever supposed to be
Don't you see?
Those dark dreams of yours
Your drowning eyes
And that sad mouth of yours, filling up with lies
Don't believe them, love
When they're telling you, that you're not enough
You're everything you were ever supposed to be
Don't you see?
Demons, bells and acrobats
Welcome to the circus inside, your mind
Oh the world is heavy, i know
A minor catastrophe with every shrug of your shoulder
But you don't have to carry it no more
It's time you let it go
Let it go, love
Let it go now
You're perfect just the way you are
Cause you and i know
You're everything you were ever supposed to be
Don't you see?
It's supposed to be easy
