Perfect Girl

Sarah Mclachlan

Am I faithful? Am I strong? Am I good enough to belong?
In your reverie, a perfect girl
Your vision of romance is cruel
All along I played the fool
All your expectations bury me

Don't worry, you will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
And don't forgo, knowing that's your love no matter what
And everything will come around in time

I own my insecurities, I try to own my destiny
That I can make or break it if I choose
But you take my words and twist them 'round
'Til I'm the one who brings you down
You make me feel like I'm the one to blame for all this

You will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
Don't forgo, knowing that's your love no matter what
And everything will come around in time

'Cause you need everybody with you on your side
Know that I am here for you but I hope in time
Find yourself alright alone
Find yourself with open arms
Find yourself, find yourself in time

The riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive
I have to take myself away from you
'Cause I can't compete, I can't deny
There's nothing that I didn't try
How did I go so wrong in loving you?

Don't worry, you will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
Don't forgo, knowing that's your love no matter what
And everything will come around in time
