Picture Perfect - Minority 905

Did I grow up just the way you wanted

Or am I your second disappointment

Do you think I’m losing grip of all reality

All this time you’ve put up all these fences

Locked me down, my every word’s defenseless

Are you even listening?

And it’s just like you to

Think that I need to be like you

And you can curse me till we’re black and blue

But I don’t think you understand

That you’ll never see who you want me to be, I’m not picture perfect

And I cannot be the reflection you seek, I’m not picture perfect

Do you think I got it all twisted?

It’s as simple as you and I are different

And I won’t just let this slip, straight through my fingertips

Was it all a lie when I was younger?

And even then you wanted me to falter

Until I’ve given in, and that it’s better for me to

Think that I need to be like you

And forget that there’s too much to lose, are we talking about the same kid?

How many times do I have to say it?

That you’ll never see who you want me to be, I’m not picture perfect

And I cannot be the reflection you seek, I’m not picture perfect

And I’ll love you till the day I die, even in the middle of all your spite

But some chances are once in a lifetime, I gotta go for it

You say you want what’s best for me

But all you do is make believe

That somehow you can change my mind

'Cause you’re the one who’s always right

You say you want what’s best for me

But all you do is make believe

That somehow you can change my mind

'Cause you’re the one who’s always right

That you’ll never see who you want me to be, I’m not picture perfect

And I cannot be the reflection you seek, I’m not picture perfect

That you’ll never see who you want me to be, I’m not picture perfect

And I cannot be the reflection you seek, I’m not picture perfect

And I’ll love you till the day I die, even in the middle of all your spite

But some chances are once in a lifetime, I gotta go for it
