Never Be Perfect ft. Jeremy Konopka Lyrics

I can hear dad's voice in my head

When I'm out on the field

Win at all costs Only losers will yield

So, I train harder, I run faster I feel the wind on my heels

And when I win I see you in the stands

Mom proudly clapping her hands

You are our golden boy

Handsome, smart, and strong

Your future will be our greatest joy

But what if I lose?

What if I'm not fast enough?

What if I'm not smart enough?

But what if I lose?

Who's the golden boy then?

I'll never be perfect

I'll never be who you want me to be

I'll never be perfect

The pressure is there and it's all I can see

I'll never be perfect

I can hear mom's voice in my head

Getting ready for the dance

Keep your waist small

Pretty girls find romance

So, I primp longer, I smile wider

I put on my lipstick and heels

And when I'm done

And walk down the stairs Mom proudly fixes my hair

You are our golden girl

Beauty, brains, and charm

Your future will be our greatest joy

But what if I lose?

What if I'm not fast enough?

What if I'm not smart enough?

What if I lose?

Who's the golden boy?

Who's the golden girl then?

We'll never be perfect

We'll never be who they want us to be

We'll never be perfect

The pressure is there and it's all I can see

We'll never be perfect

Together, imperfect we will be
