i wish i could please everybody
i wish i could pause my life whenever they want me
i wish i could take a step back
and smell the roses
but all i see are thorns

i wish i could be an angel
so i could actually help people
but i had to cut off my wings to be yours
and ever since
i have been torn beyond imaging
but i don't have to fly to be shot down
anymore

believe it or not
i am perfect
i don't know what you want me to do
when you beat me down
the treat me like a perfect person
like you
