[Verse 1] Every morning, hair in braids Another smile she wears with grace Everybody knows her name Everybody says she's safe Always knows the words to say Always puts herself behind If somebody needs a light She'll be first to make it shine [Pre-Chorus] They all say... "You'll know what to do..." "You always do..." [Chorus] She's the perfect girl... That's what everybody sees Always standing tall Always everything they need But if she's the perfect girl... Why's she scared of getting it wrong? One little crack... One little slip... And suddenly she doesn't belong... [Verse 2] Careful footsteps, careful words Every choice gets measured twice Some can stumble, some can fall She just pays a higher price When she's patient, that's expected When she's kind, it's just her role But the moment she breaks down That's the story people hold [Pre-Chorus] They all say... "You're so strong..." "Don't let us down..." [Chorus] She's the perfect girl... That's what everybody sees Always standing tall Always everything they need But if she's the perfect girl... Why's she scared of getting it wrong? One little crack... One little slip... And suddenly she doesn't belong... [Bridgel] Maybe... Good girls get angry... Maybe... Kind hearts get tired... Maybe... Even all this light... Still casts a shadow sometimes... Does that make me... Someone else? [Final Chorus] She's the perfect girl... That's what everybody believes But perfection's just a promise No one really gets to keep If she's the perfect girl... Why's she carrying all this weight? Tell me... How can anyone... Be everything... Every single day? [Outro] Maybe... I'm not perfect... Maybe... I'm just trying...
