Alison Cohen - Perfect People Lyrics

I'm breaking my back, just to break my heart
When I work so hard but see only flaws
I smile through a clenched jaw
I'm falling in love with what I'm not
While wishing my thoughts weren't betraying me
Cuz I am all that I am meant to be

I've been spinning 'round lately
And seeing all these perfect people
But I've been figuring out lately
That there isn't such a thing

As perfect people
Perfect people
Perfect people no

I'm lying awake over the white lies
That might learn how to bite and could be calling me fake
When I'm just trying to get my story straight
But I'll fake it all 'till I make it far
And I'll keep working hard to see more than flaws
Cuz I know that I deserve it all

I've been spinning 'round lately
And seeing all these perfect people
But I've been figuring out lately
That there isn't such a thing
When they've been spinning 'round for years
And wishing they were perfect people
But if they're not perfect maybe I don't need to be

Perfect people
Perfect people
Perfect people no

There are days when I look in the mirror
And wouldn't want to change a thing
And even though they're getting rarer
Than they were when I was a kid
I'm glad that they still exist
I've been spinning 'round lately
And seeing all these perfect people
But I've been figuring out lately
That there isn't such a thing

As Perfect people
Perfect people
Perfect people, no
Perfect people
Perfect people
Perfect people, no
