Perfect

I tried to be perfect but nothing was worth it
I don´t believe it makes me real
I thought it´d be easy but no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it´s in my soul
I´d say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show
that I´m trying to let you know
that I´m better off on my own
this place is so empty
my thought are so tempting
I don´t know how it got so bad
sometimes it´s so crazy that nothing can save me
but it´s the only thing that I have
If you believe it´s in my soul
I´d say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show
that I´m trying to let you know
that I´m better off on my own
I tried be perfect it just wasn't worth it
nothing could ever be so wrong
it´s hard to believe me
it never gets easy
I guess I knew that all long
If you believe it´s in my soul
I´d say all the words that I know
just to see if it would show
that I´m trying to let you know
that I´m better off on my own.
