perfect

when you've messed up
it's easy to get yourself down
it's easy to string yourself high
like you're the fool of the town

wonder if you’ll ever change
or skip your record on repeat
play it all over in your mind
till the guilt has a heartbeat

they say you’re only human
but to you that doesn’t apply
you hold yourself to a standard
that's reached only by the sky

the beauty of your existence
is that it’s always changing
you of yesterday's a stranger
your insides are rearranging

you may have foibles and flaws
and obstacles to overcome
the ability to face them
simply proves you're not numb
