Perfect Girl
Went to learn
Went to school
Got all A's
Got great things
Found a college
Found some friends
We all applied
We all got in
Continued school
Continued life
Lost a job
Lost control
Grew afraid
Grew anxious
Locked myself away
Locked my hobbies
Up again
Up all day
Plucking hair
Plucking away fear
Applied for a job
Applied again
Didn't get accepted
Didn't get in
Deep breath
Deep moans
Run away
Run on home
Hid for a while
Hid from life
Escaped the truth
Escaped from strife
Suppose I'll come back
Suppose I'll try again
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe give in
Seemingly perfect
Seemingly fair
Life is strict
Life is square.
Try one more time
Try for myself
Urged on by family
Urged on in want of wealth
Completely unchanged
Completely stagnant
Tears leave stains
Tears evaporated
Perfect child
Perfect flaws
Child...
Flaws...
