In a perfect world

You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl

I would drop my fears at the door

I would only bring myself and nothing more

And you let me be, a woman

And you let me be, a flawed woman

You would yearn to hear all about my past (ahh)

What I've done, what I've did

And why, below my sick thoughts

That if I needed to, I could cry

And you would catch my tears

You don't wanna be nobody else's pain (no)

Ay (no)

You don't wanna be nobody else's play to hide from themselves

Shame

And I'm the one to blame

You see right through me

You see through the smile

You see straight through me

You push past the lies

Oh, you got it baby

Oh, oh, oh
