You have to be perfectPerfume


You have to be perfect

Perfume to mask th smell of

I wish i was beautiful

You are beautiful

 

Perfume to mask the smell of

caked faces washed with tears

You are beautiful

I need to be perfect

 

Caked faces washed with tears

Pluck every inch of out of place hair with tweezers

I need to be perfect

It doesn't matter if it hurts

 

Pluck every inch of out of place hair with tweezers

Pain is beauty

It doesn't matter if it hurts

Don't take a lazy day.

 

Pain is beauty

Why do I stress over a man if he tells me

Don't take a lazy day

He doesn't love you anymore

 

Why do i stres over a man if he tells me

You have to be perfect

He doesn't love you anymore

I wish i was beautiful.
