The Silent Child

Lyrics:

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss “no way, it’s all good” - It didn’t slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look, I’m still around

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing you’re fuckin’ perfect to me

You’re so mean when you talk
About yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead

So complicated, look how big you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It’s enough, I’ve done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, see you do the same

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re fuckin’ perfect to me

The whole world stared so I swallowed the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line and we try, try, try
But we try too hard, it’s a waste of my time

Done looking for the critics ‘cause they’re everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Estrange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that? (Why do I do that?)

Yeah~ Ooh, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re fuckin’ perfect to me

You’re perfect, you’re perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re fuckin’ perfect to me
