Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Im not perfect but I try to
Still stuck on my mind you
Never gave me the time to
Be all that you wanted
But you broke trust
And you played me
Now you gotta see the fake me
If I'm not enough then replace me
Don't think about me wanna be free
Tired of waking up early
To do the thing that you want
Then it's being controlling
Or I'm doing way to much
This feels like an infection
That you always need protection
Not one thing without correction
Everything's perfection
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
You're looking for perfection babe
You know I just can't give it
Im a human not machine
Damn, you ain't gotta be so mean
Im trying my best
But I never pass your test
You never let me rest
In your perfect world
I am just stressed
My darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Im trying to take you out on trips
That's overseas with shopping sprees
But Im begging baby please
Just be patient give it time
But if you're rushing to be perfect
Just move on and let me be
Perfection I can't give you
Your looking that's your issue
Anyone who says it
Is just saying to get with you
You're messing with my head
Poisonous like lead
You got me skipping through my feelings
Got my heart through the celling
Wishing you were in my bed
What we got now is dead
We got hate now instead
Like I said I'm not perfect
But you wanted perfect things
You wanted perfect love
And also wanted no mistakes
But I made some and that pushed you away
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
Looking for the wrong
Even if you know about it
You see what comes along
I don't think you care about it
You're looking for perfection
You know nobody is perfect
You're looking for perfection
And you know I just can't give it
