If I Were Perfect

Perfection

Was a thing never meant to be achieved

It wasn't until I met you that I believed...

Perfection

But to you, she is a flawless goddess

Lovely, beautiful, smart yet modest

You love her so much; so fucking much

I can hear the things you tell her; sweet nothings and such

How come I can't be your 'perfect girl'?

Why can I be that 'single one in the world'?

Maybe if I had more brains

And talk and talk about geniuses and their fame

Then maybe you'd find me more interesting

(And you'd feel my thoughts were worth a listening)

Maybe if I had deep emerald eyes

And the sight of them sent you to the skies

Then maybe you'd want to understand me more

(And let me through that tightly locked door)

Maybe if I were a bit skinnier

And my size a tad more mini-er

Then maybe you'd finally want to hold me

(And tell me how very much you loved me)

Maybe if I were fucking perfection

Then I wouldn't be lost and without direction

Perhaps I would stop hating myself

And step away before the next hand is dealt

Maybe if I were good enough for you

Then I wouldn't be stuck being number two

Maybe if I were to be exactly like her

Then I could get you to love me easier

But

I wouldn't feel this way...

If I were..

Fucking

Perfect
