Perfect Lyrics

At the top of the class

At the end of the day

There'll be no one to talk to

And nowhere to play

When the hour is done

And the years have been spent

All that's left is to wonder

Just where everyone went

At the top of the hour

You'll sit up and sigh

All you've left is to wonder

How the years have gone by

You're alone with your thoughts

Even in a big crowd

And all you've left is to hope

That your sighs aren't too loud

I sit and think about

The dangers to the youth

And I just try to figure out the truth

All I know is I need to make it perfect

All I know is I need to make it right

Cause a single mistake could make it so I could never recover

All I know is I need to make it perfect

Tonight

At the end of the day

There's the pressure on you

And you're not gonna match it

Whatever you do

And it's cruel that we do it

We already know

But you don't have to do it,

You will even so

There's that fear in you mind

From the day you were born

That you have to be perfect

And I wanna warn

There's a price to be paid

For the struggle you take

And I'm sorry that people

Made such a big mistake

I wanna tell you all

The things that we did wrong

But you'll just try to make your song

All I know is I need to make it perfect

All I know is I need to make it right

Cause a single mistake could make it so I could never recover

All I know is I need to make it perfect

I'm sorry, kid, it wasn't fair

For us to put our hopes on you

But now that I can finally care

I fear there's nothing I can do

That I can do

All I know is I need to make it perfect

All I know is I need to make it right

Cause a single mistake could make it so I could never recover

All I know is I need to make it perfect

All I know is I need to make it perfect (You will be fine)

All I know is I need to make it right (You will survive)

Cause a single mistake could make it so I could never recover (You will outshine)

All I know is I need to make it perfect

Tonight
