perfectionist Lyrics

(Consistency doesn't mean perfection, and setbacks will surely come)

(Place your mind beyond the reach of fear)

(Why do you constantly need more?)

(And when is more ever enough?)

(Live your life as if you were destined to live forever)

All I want

Is to feel like I serve a purpose

All I need

Is to keep it level on the surface

And act like I don't deserve this

I only wanna preface

Everything is all my fault

If you turn away

Maybe I won't have to hide my face

If you have to say"Why are you like this in the first place?"

My only response is

I'm only despondent

Cause I'm a perfectionist

And I know I'll never be perfect

Despite my best efforts

All I can do is deflect

My head's an endless desert (so show me)

Show me what I gotta do

Just to get through to you

Tell me what I gotta say

If I make a mistake

Show me what I gotta do

Gotta do

If you turn away

Maybe I won't have to hide my face

If you have to say"Why are you like this in the first place?"

My only response is

I'm only despondent

Cause I'm a perfectionist
