Lyrics

Perfect

Cover my acne scars
Hide my stretch marks
Hide the ugliest parts of myself

And I have lived in fear
For so many years
That I would never be enough

But now I'm standing' strong like I never was
Now I'm feeling like I'm worth the love
Then it hits me, Lord above

That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore

I have learned to trust
And listen to my gut
And find the gold in a rust of my scars

And you have held me down
And I'm rising now
'Cause you don't know the things I'm made of

But now I'm standing' strong like I never was
Now I'm feeling like I'm worth the love
Then it hits me like a drug

That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect

Whoa, oh, no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh, oh, no (so much more than broken)
Whoa, oh, no-no, no (my heart is wide open)

Oh, oh, no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh, oh, no (so much more than broken)
Oh, oh, no, oh (my heart is wide open)

But now I'm standing' strong like I never was
Now I'm feeling like I'm worth the love
Then it hits me, Lord above

Maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore
