I Just Want to Be Perfect
I just want to be perfect;
Mistakes are not for me;
Spent nearly all my lifetime;
Convinced I never will succeed;
My teeth are spaced and crooked;
My nose is just too long;
Everything I do;
It always ends up wrong;
So I punish myself daily;
With self-destructive ways;
Destined to be a loser;
In this fearful game I play;
But somehow I keep going;
There is no end in sight;
And as long as I'm still breathing;
I will not give up this fight
