Perfect((Song))

{{Verse 1}}
Stitch your lips shut
Don't say a word
Make them pleased
Refuse to scream
'Cause nothing's what it seems

{{Chorus}}
See that smile
[Refuse the scars]
Hear that laugh
[It's not who you really are]
Always be picture perfect
[Don't do it, it's not worth it]
Be pretty and smart
[Forget who you are]
You're not yourself
[But that's just perfect]

{{Verse 2}}
Make them happy
Be perfect and strong
Don't make mistakes
Perfect
[They're never wrong]

{{Chorus}}
See that smile
[Refuse the scars]
Hear that laugh
[It's not who you really are]
Always be picture perfect
[Don't do it, it's not worth it]
Be pretty and smart
[Forget who you are]
You're not yourself
[But that's just perfect]

{{Verse 3}}
Take a look at your reflection
[What do see?]
She looks so sad
[Is that really me?]
You gave up yourself
[Suicide]
I've forgotten what it's like
[To be alive]

{{Bridge}}
Do you know who you are?
Do you really know yourself?
You've spent so may years
Being somebody else

{{Chorus}}
See that smile
[Refuse the scars]
Hear that laugh
[It's not who you really are]
Always be picture perfect
[Don't do it, it's not worth it]
Be pretty and smart
[Forget who you are]
You're not yourself
[But that's just perfect]
[But that's just perfect]

    I absolutely fell in love with the whole poem after I just read the bridge =]
    Wow, you stunned me with it. Wonderful job in this song, and especially the third verse. I don't think it's something I'd hear mainstream, but I think it's something that would be put on a CD.

    You definitely should find someone to sing this =]

    Great job,
    5/5

    VERY IMPRESSIVE! It's great. I love the words you say verses the words you think! It's really great! I enjoyed that aspect of it. So good.

    I loved it! The message behind it was so true and something I am sure many can relate with. It would be beautiful if you add some music, I would be curious to hear how it would sound. It all flowed beautifully and nothing seemed forced.

    "Do you know who you are?
    Do you really know yourself?
    You've spent so may years
    Being somebody else"
    ^LOVED IT!

    well done *5/5*
