I’m so tired of being perfect?

Trying to play a part, tired of this broken heart

Is there anyone who’ll take me as I am

Don’t want your smiles of just pretend, I need a friend

Don’t it seem we’re all just chasing dreams

We’ve seen in magazines, designed with care to seem so real

Don’t you recall how warm we felt in homes so broken in

With love and laughs not dressed up like those magazines

I’m so tired of being perfect?

Trying to play a part, tired of this broken heart

Is there anyone who’ll take me as I am

Don’t want your smiles of just pretend,

Don’t want to start, if it’s going to end

I need a friend, I need a friend

I have a melancholy soul

I might appear to be stronger than I am

I have a hard time fitting in

Reading where friendships begin and end

I tend to trust with all my heart

Not gonna pretend to be something that I’m not

I can be loyal to a fault

Believing in people I should not

I’m so tired of being perfect?

Trying to play a part, tired of this broken heart

Is there anyone who’ll take me as I am

Don’t want your smiles of just pretend, I need a friend

Yeah I’m not sure what perfect really is

But I know I’m sick and tired of whistles and the bells

I feel so exhausted all the time

Drowning in all these games, these lies, these spells
