Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You ask me how I know
Like I was born with maps
Stack your hope on my back
Then act like that’s just факт
I smile at the dinner table
While my hands shake under glass
You want gold in every answer
But I’m barely making last
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the test
Tired of the look
You read the surface
Never read the book
I keep it in my chest
Where you won’t go
I say “I’m fine”
You say “You know”
[Chorus]
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
You want perfect, perfect
I’m coming apart at the seams
You want everything
I know everything
But I’m breaking slow
Can you see me? (can you see me?)
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
[Verse 2]
Every call feels like a trial
Every meal feels like a grade
If I miss one little detail
It’s like all I’ve done got erased
I learned to nod and nod
Like that would keep me whole
But the more I play the strong one
The more I lose control
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the test
Tired of the look
You read the surface
Never read the book
I keep it in my chest
Where you won’t go
I say “I’m fine”
You say “You know”
[Chorus]
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
You want perfect, perfect
I’m coming apart at the seams
You want everything
I know everything
But I’m breaking slow
Can you see me? (can you see me?)
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
[Bridge]
Maybe I need room
Maybe I need grace
Not another lecture
Not another face
I’m still your kid
I’m still in here
I need your hands
Not all this fear
[Final Chorus]
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
You want perfect, perfect
I’m coming apart at the seams
You want everything
I know everything
But I’m breaking slow
Can you see me? (can you see me?)
You want perfect, perfect
I’m not a machine
