From the recording Better to be Good
Lyrics
I spent too long trying to be the best,
Chasing a dream that left me no rest.
Every flaw, every crack, I tried to hide,
But now I see it’s what’s inside.
The weight of perfect falls so hard,
But happiness comes when you drop your guard.
I’m letting go of perfection’s hold,
Finding peace in the stories untold.
In every flaw, I find my grace,
There’s beauty in the mess I embrace.
I’m perfectly imperfect, I see,
And that’s enough, it’s all I need to be.
I used to think that I had to please,
But life’s not measured by victories.
The cracks and breaks are where light shines through,
The parts I tried to hide are what make me true.
The weight of perfect falls so hard,
But happiness comes when you drop your guard.
I’m letting go of perfection’s hold,
Finding peace in the stories untold.
In every flaw, I find my grace,
There’s beauty in the mess I embrace.
I’m perfectly imperfect, I see,
And that’s enough, it’s all I need to be.
I’ve learned that life’s not a flawless game,
And chasing perfection only brings shame.
True happiness is in what we let go,
The beauty of growing from what we don’t know.
The weight of perfect falls so hard,
But happiness comes when you drop your guard.
I’m letting go of perfection’s hold,
Finding peace in the stories untold.
In every flaw, I find my grace,
There’s beauty in the mess I embrace.
I’m perfectly imperfect, I see,
And that’s enough, it’s all I need to be.
Let me share a story that I’ve come to know,
About a sunflower made, a long time ago.
The creator stared, thinking it wasn’t right,
Hours passed, it troubled their sight.
But then they smiled and began to see,
Perfection lies in what’s meant to be.
The sunflower’s beauty wasn’t in what it lacked,
But in the imperfections, that made it intact.
No one, no thing, can be flawless or whole,
But that’s where happiness finds its soul.
I’m letting go of perfection’s hold,
Finding peace in the stories untold.
In every flaw, I find my grace,
There’s beauty in the mess I embrace.
I’m perfectly imperfect, I see,
And that’s enough, it’s all I need to be.
