Perfect Lie
She tried
She tried so hard
Not to make a mistake
She covered all her flaws
Pacing through life on tipped toes
Trying so hard not to make a mistake
But that in itself was the mistake
She was meant to live
She was meant to love
She was meant to jump
She was meant to play
She was meant to be free
She was meant to make mistakes
And laugh at the silliest jokes
She was meant to dance in the rain
Let her hair down
And sing a rhythmless song
But she kept it all bottled up
And put on a show for everyone
Feigning a perfect existence
Feigning a perfect life
Living a perfect lie
Caught in the perfect web
A web of lies
