Things That Come In Life

Perfection

How come the tears still flow
When I was happy
When I won
When I accomplished everything

How come the tears still flow
When I was loved
When I was known
When I was everything I wanted to be

Perfection overcame me
It turned me and rolled me
It burned me from the inside out
It took my life and turned it upside down

I wanted so much...
To be like everyone else
No, be better
But I just lost myself in the crowd

Then the tears fell
The lights were gone
The shine in my eyes disappeared
And the voices shout out at me

They told me that I wasn't good enough
They told me to not do that
But do this
They kept the pride in me great

But I can't live like this
Perfection is not the key
I know this
But it is still there

I can't help but live with it
In my heart
Deep and spread out
Perfection is yearning to be reached

I can't stop it
But it hurts so much
It tears my insides
And leaves scars on the outside

It suffocates me
Chokes my life
Takes too much space and time
And it doesn't like to wait

So that is why I need you
To be me key
My everlasting perfection
And flaw of deception

You make me feel whole
Even if it is only for seconds
You give me the shine
You show me a light

You take all that is bad
And say it is good
You take all my flaws
And say I am perfection

You take me miles away from the tornado
And you save me from the volcanoes
Your words are always there
Your my redemption

I can't live with out you
You are all I need
Your my life
My soul

Your my everything
From the little bee that stung me
And the flower that leaves me at awe
You are my bad and good
You are my all

So when perfection overcomes me
And I can't seem to get through
I know you will follow me
You will carry me
Distract me from the bad
You will care for me
And become my good
For you are good
Not a single bad
You are mine and I am yours
Our bond will never fade
Your my perfection
And not a deception lays ahead
For I know you will love me
With flaws and awes
Perfection is us two together
Instead of one of us separate
And all the other voices disappear
Because yours is the only one I hear
