Perfect no more

Perfect no More

I tried so very hard.
Hard every day.
My head banging against the wall.
Trying to find the way.
Looking for you to guide me.
Guide me down the road.
Road to perfection.
You know the one
where your love
waited for me
for me at the end.
I tried to be perfect.
Tried everyday just for you.
Your love was goal.
You had to know.
Yes, it was all about you.
I lost me trying to find you.
Trying to find your secret key.
Trying to be perfect.
Perfect for you to love me.
I stumbled and you let me fall.
I cried and you let the tears fall.
I never found the damn road.
One day though I saw it in you.
Damn you aren’t perfect either.
Off came those rose colored glasses.
Off the pedestal you fell.
Right before my eyes.
Perfect no more.
No more, no no, no more.
Right before my eyes it changed.
My brain shifted right then.
From you to me.
Perfect no more did I need to be.
Shifting from first gear to 2nd
2nd to 3rd to 4th to 5th!!
I am burning down this new road.
Blazing my own path.
Leaving perfection in the damn dust.
Leaving you with it.
Cause I don’t have to be perfect no more.
Perfect no more.
I can go on my own road.
Love me for me.
Or don’t love me.
But perfect no more.
Racing down the road to life.
perfect no more.
