I've made too many mistakes
And it's left me wonderim'
Do I got what it takes
To be what I know I am?

I go down this road
Only to find dead ends
Everywhere I look
There's no way out of this

Not so perfect world
Not so perfect life
Not so perfect dream
I try so hard to be
What I know I'm not
I try so hard to be

Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect

When will I learn
That love comes and goes around
Broken hearts and crushed dreams
Are just another part of my rutine

When will I learn
That I'm stuck in this

Not so perfect world
Not so perfect life
Not so perfect dream
I try so hard to be
What I know I'm not
I try so hard to be

Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect

I've got to step back into reality
I've got to try to be who I know I am
And be proud of it
I've got to try to be part of this
Not so perfect world
Not so perfect life
Not so perfect dream
I try so hard to be
What I know I'm not
I try so hard to be

Perfect

Wrote this song in 7th grade, haven't wrote much since but I'm trying to get back into it. It really reflects how I was feeling at the time, trying to fit in at my middle school, figuring life out.
