Perfect

Marianas Trench · Masterpiece Theatre [2009]

Please sing to me, I can see you open up to breathe

Fast words make it easier on me

If the point's to never disappoint you

Somebody's got to tell me what to do

I just wish you could have seen me

When it used to come so easy

I'd like to say that it's easy to stay, but it's not for me

Because I'm barely here at all



Slow down now, the secret's out

And I swear now, everything is perfect

What you want, what you need has been killing me

Trying to be everything that you want me to be

I'll say yes, I'll undress, I've done more for less

And I will change everything till it's perfect again



Coming down, coming around

Giving a frown to the sound when I hit ground

I hate the way that I say I should stay

When I know that I don't give a fuck about it anyway

I shake hands and shoot smiles all around

As I sell my body by the pound

Sign my name on the dotted line for would be fate

Do not resuscitate



Slow down now, the secret's out

And I swear now I can make this perfect

What you want, what you need has been killing me

Trying to be everything that you want me to be

I'll say yes, I'll undress, I've done more for less

And I will change everything till it's perfect again



I think it's better this way; this is good in a bad way

I think it's better this way; I'll make this perfect again

I'll make this perfect again



What you want, what you need has been killing me

And I'll change everything that you want me to be

I'll say yes, I'll undress, I've done more for less

And I will change everything



What you want, what you need has been killing me

Trying to be everything that you want me to be

I'll say yes, I'll undress, I've done more for less

And I will change everything



I'll make this perfect again
