Perfect

It’s time that I got myself a nice suit
So that I could look respectable for you
And it’s time that I built myself a refuge
So that I could hide away if I so choose

These days it feels that everything is changing
Used to be that every stride you were standing by my side
But now it feels I’m walking on a tightrope
As I try to balance out how to make you proud

One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away

And you almost don’t even recognize me
Saying, “How did you erase all but gorgeous from your face?”
But don’t be scared, ‘cause I’ll live here forever
Won’t you take a venture out?
Won’t you take a venture outta there?

One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away

Stars will fall from skies above
But I am no prophet of doom
I just thought I’d warn you
It’s a service I provide for free to you
They call it love babe

One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I’ll be perfect, I’ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away
