Perfect

Sometimes is never quite enough

If you're flawless, then you'll win my love

Don't forget to win first place

Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Perfect, my least favorite word. Perfect, that's what they say I am. Perfect Hermione. Perfect, yeah, because I have to be. I don't dare try to not be perfect because that's what my parents want, because that's who I am. Its hard to be perfect though. To keep smiling and studying, to be better then everyone. Flawless, because normal isn't enough. That's what I hate though, because I can't be normal. Because normal is never enough.

Be a good boy

Try a little harder

You've got to measure up

And make me prouder

I have to measure up to the standards I've set, by being perfect. If my grades just dropped now, everyone would wonder what had happened to perfect little Hermione. Wouldn't matter, I have to make my parents proud, so they can tell the family that their daughter is perfect, just like her parents.

How long before you screw it up

How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up

With everything I do for you

The least you can do is keep quiet

I don't think I can keep this act up for much longer. Eventually I'm going to screw it up. I wish I could tell someone how I feel, so at least one person would know that I'm falling apart inside. Maybe they could help me. I doubt it though.

Be a good girl

You've gotta try a little harder

That simply wasn't good enough

To make us proud

I'll live through you

I'll make you what I never was

If you're the best, then maybe so am I

Compared to him compared to her

I'm doing this for your own damn good

You'll make up for what I blew

What's the problem...why are you crying

I can't tell my mum about this, we've never been close. My dad? Well, he doesn't care about anything but his job. I do have to close friends I could talk to, but Ron isn't sensitive enough to care. Harry? Maybe Harry, if I could just talk to him alone for awhile. They'd be surprised, the perfect Hermione they knew isn't who they thought. They love just the way I am though, why would they want to see me any different.



Be a good boy

Push a little farther now

That wasn't fast enough

To make us happy

We'll love you just the way you are

If you're perfect

A/N- Well, that wasn't very good, huh? I typed it in like 10 mins. Of well, you know what to do. R/R. *Updated* I forgot to type this. The song is by Alanis Morrisette, it's called Perfect and it is off her album "Jagged little pill"
