[Verse 1]
I took my pills to feel better
I hated them too
They never worked
Yeah I'm sick of being that girl
Don’t want to be one anymore
[Chorus]
And if I told you I'm perfect
Oh, would you like that?
I bet you would
And if I told you I'm worthless
Would you like that?

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
And if I told you I’m perfect
I bet you'd like that

And if I told you I'm worthless
Would you like that?
I bet you would
[Verse 3]

But maybe lately I'm good again
And all my thoughts just feel stupid

[Chorus]
And if I told you I'm perfect
Would you like that?
I bet you would
And if I told you I'm worthless
Would you like that?
I bet you would
[Bridge]

Run, run to the sun
Run, run to the sun
Get that bag heavy stacks
Things get a little better now
I think they are
I think they should
[Outro]
Shit feels a little harder now
I think we are
I think they would
