Perfect ( more of a song)

by EllenoreShade   Feb 9, 2006


There she goes again.
Shes made another mistake.
Inside the crying is starting to begin.
She can't help but want death to take.

Her mouth is sewn shut.
She can't tell anyone her thought.
All ideas slow down as she starts to cut.
She is focused on what will happen if shes caught.

(Chorus)
But she just wants to be perfect.
She just wants to be right.
In her mind she can't protect.
She's fallen into that trap;sealed up tight.

She just wants to be perfect.
Every hair in place.
She wants a flawless face.
All she wants is perfection.

Another mistake could cost her, her life.
She isn't about to let anyone inside her mind.
Her nerve won't let her let go of that knife.
She knows she can't go back and change time.

Slipped and fallen on that slick golden path.
She knows she is breaking her mothers heart.
Best sign that last test yourself for math.
She wishes she knew what she is apart.

(Chorus)

That slit wrist won't fix that mistake.
She will beat herself up over and over.
Everyone knows your not playing, your not a fake.
She despises herself undercover.

Don't worry about that flaw.
She's just wrapped a little too tight.
Slow down and take a deep breath in "Aw"
She just needs to slow down and not fight.

Calm down its going to be alright.
She lets a single tear fall.
Its going to be a really long night.
She knows it is going to be OK. Its a draw.

(Chorus)

Is this really the end?
She doesn't know whether shes done today.
Can she really make amends?
She just has to wait and see, next Monday.
