Perfectly Broken

Yeah, I got everything, but I still feel this way

Caught in my mind, it's a lonely maze

Wake up in the morning, smile on my face

Living the dream, but I’m lost in this phase

Got a girl who loves me, a ring on the way

So why do I feel like I’m mostly okay?

Maybe it's the thrill of the pain I chase

Drowning in thoughts I can't erase

Happy on paper, but feelings misplace

Fighting myself, an endless race

I shouldn’t be down, I should be proud

Living my life, standing in the clouds

Everything's perfect, but I’m feeling loud

This empty feeling, it’s so unbound

Friends say I’ve got it made, no need to doubt

But inside, I’m always caught in a drought

The love surrounds me, the future’s clear

Yet I crave the sorrow, it’s my favorite near

Maybe it's the thrill of the pain I chase

Drowning in thoughts I can't erase

Happy on paper, but feelings misplace

Fighting myself, an endless race

I shouldn’t be down, I should be proud

Living my life, standing in the clouds

Everything's perfect, but I’m feeling loud

This empty feeling, it’s so unbound

Is there freedom in feeling blue?

A strange comfort I cling to

I know I’m blessed, but it’s the same old

Caught in my mind, unbroken, uncontrolled

Maybe someday I’ll find my way

Out of this maze, into the brighter day

Until then, I embrace the pain

My paradox, my sweet, strange refrain
