Khalid - Perfect Lyrics

Ready?
I can't get this thing to stop squeaking
Alright
Alright, ready Riley?
I'm ready
1, 2, 3, 4

I've been on my own for a long time, I'm feelin' kinda lonely
Nothing's fun when I'm the only one out here who knows me
Something's stopping me from becoming a better person
I could try to pace myself, but I don't think that it's worth it

What's the point in workin', if a wish is never certain?
I know I'll never be, perfect

I went for a walk last night, I swear it was for hours
Happiness is far from reachin' inside of my power
My friends say that I'm changin', changin' like the weather
Mom says I look sick, pop says keep my head up

What's the point in workin', if a wish is never certain?
I know I'll never be, perfect

Man, I'm thinking out loud, where I know someone will hear me
Cryin' out for help, in search of someone near me
And I see a growin' boy whenever I look in the mirror
Told me pain is temporary and my vision's comin' clearer

I'm not used to workin', a wish is never certain
I know I'll never be, perfect

No, no
I'm not used to workin', a wish is never certain
But at least I'll never be, perfect
