[Intro]

[Verse 1 ]
Today, once again, I pick out a face to wear
Covering myself with an expression everyone will like to hear
I fold my true self away deep inside like other
And pretend to fit in, like I’m proper

It’s a rule I learned in the classroom of social cues
A manual stating that standing out means you’re wrong (it's truth)
I censor even my smallest words before I speak
I cut my edges to look normal (i'm no freak)

[Pre-Chorus]
Asking "Are you okay?" is easy
It’s an answer they don’t actually waiting for (its cheesy)
If I smile, I’m a "good person"
But if I break down, I’m a "social danger" (what's worsen)

Everyone looks right at me
Yet no one truly knows me
I smile like I’m okay
While I’m breaking lower every day

[Chorus]
Perfectly broken
Falling apart, but doing it beautifully (and heartbroken )
Behind this smiling face
My true self is slowly fading away ( and without trace )

Perfectly broken
They taught me how to hide
I bury my tears deep inside
And keep dying polite

If I smile well, I’m "good enough"
But if I cry, it’s "too much" (out of line)
The world fixes me up just the way it wants
Then asks me why I’ve lost my mind nonce

[Verse 2]
Expectations always have such pretty names
Love, success, the future, dreams...(their aims!)
But once they’re hung around my neck
They become nothing more than a silent chain (don't forget!)

If I’m kind, I get used
If I’m honest, I make people uncomfortable (and got refused)
And if I say that I’m hurting
They say I’m ruining the mood (and don't really listening)

We’re all heading in the same direction
Unaware that we’re all just breaking down together in perfection
Drowned out by the sound of applause
Lies my own small, little funeral in flaws

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wonder when it started?
When I began to hate myself? (like to be parted)
When I learned only how to earn praise
But forgot how to actually live? (like to be haze )

Everyone tells me, "Be yourself"
Then punishes every single difference it melt
I learned to disappear completely
And called it independence freely

[Final Chorus]
Perfectly broken
Falling apart, but doing it beautifully (and heartbroken )
Behind this smiling face
My true self is slowly fading away ( and without trace )

Perfectly broken
They taught me how to hide
I bury my tears deep inside
And keep dying polite

If you smile, you become a product
If you cry, you become a problem (a conduct)
In the standards you made
we are all afraid
If you smile well, it's good enough
If you cry, it's too much 
The world shatters me
and asks me why I lost my mind (like you see)
