Need to Be Perfect

Written by: Celia Collazo

I tried to be what you told me
Would make me cool, would make me pretty
Did I ever measure up
When you left me in the dust
I realized I can’t be enough
Even though I tried to be what you want
I’ve been reaching for the stars
But the distance was too far

And I watched you leave to go walk on the moon
I wish every day that I could be there too

I need to be perfect if I want your love
This song is too simple, it isn’t enough
It’s not that I’m not trying
I have been more than you know
Don’t think I can be good enough though
I need to be perfect if I want your love
I don’t think it’s worth it
Cause I’m not enough
I need to be perfect

I made a list of all my flaws
A list I can’t imagine you on
You can’t do anything wrong
Except leaving me alone

I’m not flawless like you are, you’re on the moon
I wish every day that I could be there tooI needed to be perfect if I wanted your love
You think that I’m worthless and that’s why you’re gone
It’s not that I’m not trying
I have been more than you know
Don’t think I can be good enough though

I gave you everything I had but I’m not GodI need to be perfect if I want your love
This song is too simple, for me it’s enough
I really am still trying
I am more than you know
I think I can be good enough though
I need to be perfect if I want your love
But I’m good without it
Ask God how I know
