Perfect Me

I've got to smile honestly A good night's rest with eight hours sleep Look your best with good hygiene Keep your teeth nice and clean Back yourself but modestly Show your friends empathy Make more time for family Go somewhere you've never been I've come to my senses Life's not easy It leaves you guessing Just keep breathing I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me To be true and direct It's as hard as you'd suspect Is that cynicism I detect? Or my lyricism I detest? Wait, I've three more things to say You've got to learn from your mistakes Over time you will change No one leaves here unscathed I've come to my senses Life's not easy It leaves you guessing Just keep breathing I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I get by with my pilot light bright I'm my own worst enemy Half the time Half the time I've come to my senses Life's not easy It leaves you guessing Just keep breathing I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me I've got to be the perfect me
