Perfect (Live at Apollo)

[Spoken Intro]
So, Hammersmith
Speaking of overcoming fears
It's quite a strange time, isn't it, right now?
I feel like there's so much darkness
And there's a literal, like, eclipse happening tomorrow
And it's kind of, I don't know if about you, but it's made me feel really kind of insecure
And really highlighting all the flaws that I find I normally am quite good at hiding
But, so, this next song is about embracing those flaws
And the fact that no one really cares about them apart from us
And the thing that connects us with other people
And it's like, I can feel your energy, Hammеrsmith
And I can see your faces
And to me, right herе in this moment, as you are, you are completely perfect

[Verse 1]
Cover my acne scars
Hide my stretch marks
Hide the ugliest parts of myself
And I've lived in fear
For so many years
That I would never be enough

[Chorus]
But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worthy of love
Then it hits me, Lord, above
That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore

[Verse 2]
I have learned to trust
And listen to my gut
Find the gold in rust of my scars
And you have held me down
And I'm rising now
'Cause you don't know the things I'm made of

[Chorus]
But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worthy of love
Then it hits me like a drug
That maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect

[Bridge]
Woah, oh no (My scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh no (So much more than broken)
Oh, oh no, oh (My heart is wide open)
Oh, oh no (My scars fill with gold, it's)
Oh, oh no (So much more than broken)
Oh, oh no, oh (My heart is wide open)

[Outro]
But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worthy of love
Then it hits me, Lord, above
My scars fill with gold
So much more than broken
My heart is wide open
My scars fill with gold
So much more than broken
My heart is wide open
But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
Now I'm feelin' like I'm worthy of love
Then it hits me, Lord, above
Maybe it's not worth it
And no one needed perfect
Anymore
