"Perfect" lyrics

"Perfect"

Yeah, some people like me are just destined
To fuck up everything that we mess with
If I was made as a joke I don't get it
Missed the call, but I guess I got the message

Usually I fall too hard
I'm addicted to pain
And if the worlds on fire
I'll be swimming in flames, yeah
'Cause I'm too impatient to wait for change

I know I'm far from perfect
Oh, yeah
But I know I can make it work
I know I can make it work

Feels like I'm crazy, everybody knows my name
But I don't even know mine lately
Weighing heavy on my brain
But I don't even know my name

This a story 'bout a ID crisis
Used to think my only future was the night shift
Brain on ADHD, Auto pilot
And through it all somehow I kept smiling

I can never find the right words to say
Only a handful of family ever sees my face
But I'm only human
Don't we all make mistakes?

I'm drowning in my head again
And my thoughts don't want me to win
They show compassion, made of plastic
And I don't wanna be another tragedy
But I'd rather be dead than a skeleton
Dreaming 'bout the things that he couldn't be
'Cause I'm too impatient to wait for dreams

I know I'm far from perfect
Oh, yeah
But I know I can make it work
I know I can make it work
(Feels like I'm crazy)
I know I'm far from perfection
(Feels like I'm going insane)
But I know I can make it work

Feels like I'm crazy, everybody knows my name
(Knows my name, knows my name)
I'm going insane
Weighing heavy on my brain
