Perfect

Folder: 
Chains

You look into the mirror

hating what you see

you think "Who is that fat girl?"

"Who is that looking back at me?"

 

Don't let the boys put you down

there's things about you they don't know

ignore the skinny girls

you're as perfect as they go.

 

I know your boyfriend ignores you

he doesn't notice your pretty face

he says things about you that aren't true

what were you doing with him in the first place?

 

You are beautiful as they come

let your light shine bright

leave that loser behind girl

show him how perfect you are tonight.

 

You're hiding in your room

sitting there in a fright

you hope he's too drunk and passed out

you hope your bruises heal tonight.

 

Don't cover up your scars girl

the world will set you free

sneak out into the starry night

you're as perfect as can be.

 

Boy, you sit there drinking

trying to feel alright

you turn into a real jerk when you're drunk

it's time to stop tonight.

 

You can beat this addiction boy

be yourself and don't pretend

be true to yourself and others will find

that you are a perfect friend.

 

Don't ever put yourself down

don't try to be something that you're not

Your perfect in someone else's eyes

Guide yourself into the right spot.
