“Perfect Life” was the first single released for Red’s fourth album, Release the Panic. The song points at the fake perfection that people try to live rather than seeing and accepting their brokenness.
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
You pretend what you say you feel
You pretend that you're something special
All your lies that you hide behind
I see right through you, see right through you
Paint it on, cover every inch
Any flaw will expose your weakness
I'm immune to your fantasy
I won't become you, won't become you
[Chorus]
You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life
[Verse 2]
So keep your dream with no consequence
You'd damage me just to feed your senses
All you fake for reality
I see right through you, see right through you
Take your pride, take your vanity
Can't you see that your ego's empty?
I will turn, I will walk away
I won't become you, won't become you
[Chorus]
You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a perfect lie
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life
[Bridge]
My eyes are wide open
I see the enemy, the hypocrisy
Your cover is fading
Secrets pouring out, castles falling down
There's nothing to hide behind
I know who I am inside
I'm perfectly broken
[Chorus]
You want a perfect, perfect life
Nothing wrong, nothing real inside
All I see is a empty lie
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
I don't want your perfect life (Yeah)
[Outro]
I don't want your perfect life
The perfect life
