Perfect For You
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.
I'm flawed, I'm flawed, I know this
You like me in small doses
What am I supposed to do with that?
Yeah, yeah, ooh
You say I bring the drama
Like you got halos on ya'
Half the time it's you that makes it bad
Yeah, yeah, ooh
I'm wild, I'm jealous, insane
I'm scared, but I don't run away (you do)
It's pissing me off when you say
Calm down, calm down, like that
You know that I'm in it for real
And you know everything that I feel
Yeah to me, it is a big deal
So don't come at me like that
And it's true
I can't seem to shake it loose
'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me
Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you
I'm done jumping through hoops
There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it
Face it, I cannot be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect
Yeah I cannot be perfect for you
I wear emotions on my sleeve
I say exactly what I mean
Isn't that real enough for you?
Yeah, yeah, ooh
I got no shame, I trust myself
Won't change for you and no one else
Making me feeling I''m not enough when I am
I'm wild and jealous, insane
I'm scared but I don't run away (you do)
It's pissing me off when you say
Calm down, calm down - like that
You know that I'm in it for real
And you know everything that I feel
Yeah to me, it is a big deal
So don't come at me like that
And it's true
I can't seem to shake it loose
'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me
Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you
I'm done jumping through hoops
There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it
Face it, I cannot be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect
Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect
Yeah I cannot be perfect for you
So love me or leave me alone
So love me or leave me alone
So love me or leave me alone
So love me or leave me alone
And it's true
I can't seem to shake it loose
'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me
Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you
I'm done jumping through hoops
There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it
Face it, I cannot be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect
Yeah I cannot be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect for you
Be perfect
Yeah I cannot be perfect for you
