Far From 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.
Keeping up appearances
Don't break now or buckle from the weight
Pretend to laugh but don't laugh too loud
Do you feel the pressure building
The anger spilling out now
Meanwhile the cracks have formed on
The masks we've worn up 'til now
We are far from perfect
But perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
But we are goddamn works of art
Works of art
Pieces of our hearts all gravitated together
But before we could be part of this mosaic
We had to break apart like glass
We're falling faster than stars
Meanwhile the cracks have formed on
The masks we've worn up 'til now
Take a look
We are far from perfect
But perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
We are goddamn works of art
In every color we shine!
A tapestry of scars!
With every thread!
We're growing stronger and moving onward
We're finding right ways despite the wrong ones
We're clearing paths blocked by storms
We're finding the beauty in what you've ignored!
We are far from perfect
But perfect as we are
We are far from perfect
But perfect as we are
We are bruised, we are broken
But we are goddamn works of art
Yeah we are!
Perfect as we are! (perfect as we are!)
