lyrics

Be perfect, uh uh
Be perfect

I use perfection as my crutch
I set the bar so high that I can’t be touched
I tend to think I’m a machine
If I can do this right, they’ll leave me in peace

Be perfect, uh uh
Be perfect

Problem is
Nothing ever happens
Problem is
Nothing ever gets done

I always study every move
I’m reaching for the stars, but I’m not that tall
I want to seek and save the lost
I’m simply too afraid they’ll laugh at my voice

Be perfect, uh uh
Be perfect

Problem is
Nothing ever happens
Problem is
Nothing ever gets done

My problem's tryin' to be perfect anything less is disservice
I wind up smelling all artificial like laundry detergent
I'm cognisant as a surgeon but always feeling uncertain
My fingers feel like sausages all of this is a burden
Nothing never gets done what I love has become a curse
And I'm constantly on the run from all criticism and worse
What if it bursts
My artwork tops charts
Being accomplished makes it hard to put God first
I'm scared

Be perfect, uh uh
Be perfect

Problem is
Nothing ever happens
Problem is
Nothing ever gets done

My child
Be perfect
Not as they are
But as I AM
