Perfect

Here I am in such a painful state
in myself are all the things I hate
I cannot bear to look into your face
it hurts like a wound that you love me anyway

Cause I want to be beautiful for you
but I fail
I fail so miserably
and I want to be used by you
but I'm frail
I'm frail and miserably
wanting nothing more than to be perfect

Loving you hurts worse than anything
but I'd rather die loving you
than waste away with no love song to sing
Loving you heals more than anything
and I'd rather die crying blue
than not ever knowing your beauty

One day when I am free from myself
I will run to your arms whole and well
Father let my forget myself
because the loving wounds are a life giving well

Cause I want to be beautiful for you
but I fail
I fail so miserably
and I want to be used by you
but I'm frail
I'm frail and miserably
wanting nothing more than you so perfect
you were perfect
you are perfect
