"Perfect Girl" lyrics - SARAH MCLACHLAN

Am I faithful, am I strong
Am I good enough to belong
In your reverie a perfect girl
Your vision of romance is cruel
And all along I played the fool
All your expectations bury me

Don't worry

[Chorus:]
You will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
But don't forgo this
Knowing that you're loved no matter what
And everything will come around
In time

I own my insecurities
I try to own my destiny
That I can make or break it if I choose
But you take my words and twist them 'round
'til I'm the one that brings you down
Make me feel like I'm the one to blame
For all this

[Chorus]

You need everybody with you on your side
Know that I am here for you
But I hope in time
You'll find yourself alright alone
You'll find yourself with open arms
You'll find yourself, you'll find yourself
In time

The riot in my heart decides
To keep me open and alive
I have to take myself away from you
'Cause I can't compete
I can't deny
There's nothing that I didn't try
How did I go so wrong in loving you

Don't worry

[Chorus]
