You want me to be perfect

So I tried.

But things aren’t the same now

So I’m giving up my pride

Cause a perfect me is a fucking lie.

I’m battered and beaten

I’m broken and torn

I’m outdated and damaged

I’m used and I’m worn.

Everything’s coming down on me at once

It’s too much pressure to hold

I can’t be the strong one this time

My arms are beginning to fold.

I can’t keep this up much longer

This game you want me to play.

I stay awake at night crying

And fear facing each day.

So it’s time for me to be real

To set the record straight.

I have to make this right

So I’m giving into fate.
