[Verse 1] Check the boxes, play the part Hide the cracks inside my heart Every smile a practiced line Every flaw I keep behind [Prechorus] They all say I’ve got it made But they don’t see the mess I’ve made [Chorus] Perfect on paper, broken inside Living a life I can’t survive Perfect on paper, can’t you see This mask was never really me [Verse 2] Grades and numbers, ticking clocks Fitting neatly in their box Every dream gets torn apart When it’s weighed against a chart [Prechorus] They all say I’ve got it made But they don’t see the mess I’ve made [Chorus] Perfect on paper, broken inside Living a life I can’t survive Perfect on paper, can’t you see This mask was never really me [Bridge] Every standard, every lie Cuts me down until I die Every page they want to read Leaves no room for what I need [Chorus – Final] Perfect on paper, broken inside Living a life I can’t survive Perfect on paper, can’t you see This mask was never really me Perfect on paper, fading away Tired of playing the part every day Perfect on paper, lost in the lie Am I perfect when I die?
