Perfect

Please tell me why 
Everyone thinks perfection is
Reality
Forget that
Enter real reality where girls 
Cry tears of pain
Tears of shame 

Persevere to be perfect 
Except there's no such thing 
Remember real reality
Fight that painful sting
Enticing failures 
Can lead to true despair
Try and just be yourself 
         Cause perfection is unreal 
          

Perfect

Please tell me why 
Everyone thinks perfection is
Reality
Forget that
Enter real reality where girls 
Cry tears of pain
Tears of shame 

Persevere to be perfect 
Except there's no such thing 
Remember real reality
Fight that painful sting
Enticing failures 
Can lead to true despair
Try and just be yourself 
         Cause perfection is unreal
