"Perfect" lyrics

I used to spend my nights wishing that I could be someone else
Then I realized the person I'd be was always gonna be myself

'Cause if you look past the imperfections
We are all the same, we're only human
The most powerful thing you own is your...

Voice
Scream above the noise
That you're perfect as you are
Even when times are hard
You are brave
And even if they say
That you'll never go far
'cause you're "dumb", "skinny" or "scarred"
You're perfect the way you are

I used to spend my time at the mirror just picking at my skin
Praying for the day I'd lose some weight so I could be pretty or thin

But who was I to know that all I needed was some hope
It starts getting better when you use your...

Voice
Scream above the noise
That you're perfect as you are
Even when times are hard
You are brave
And even if they say
That you'll never go far
'cause you're "dumb", "skinny" or "scarred"
You're perfect the way you are

'Cause if you look past the imperfections
We are all the same, we're only human
And it took me years to see
That all those imperfections fit me perfectly
And those words I heard that you tell yourself
That it would all go away if you were someone else
Be strong, breathe in, and use your...

Voice
Scream above the noise
That you're perfect as you are
Even when times are hard
You are brave
And even if they say
That you'll never go far
'cause you're "dumb", "skinny" or "scarred"
You're perfect the way you are

Voice
Scream above the noise
That you're perfect as you are
Even when times are hard
You are brave
And even if they say
That you'll never go far
Because you're "dumb", "skinny" or "scarred"
You're perfect the way you are
