Maybe I’ll be human instead

Verse 1

They said the picture would come out clean

Every corner sharpened every line

I keep cropping out the parts of me

That don't fit inside the frame tonight

Pre-Chorus

And I smile for the camera

While my hands are shaking underneath

I smile for the camera

But the mirror disagrees

Chorus

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

But I'm standing here a little bit cracked

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

So I paint over the parts I lack

Verse 2

Scroll until my eyes go dry and numb

Somebody's living better than I do

Every perfect room is someone's lie

Mine is just the one I'm hiding in too

Pre-Chorus

And I pose for the strangers

While my chest is caving quietly

I pose for the strangers

But the silence knows the real me

Chorus

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

But I'm standing here a little bit cracked

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

So I paint over the parts I lack

Bridge

What if broken was the honest thing

What if rough was mine to keep

What if I could let the edges show

And finally get some sleep

Chorus

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

But I'm softer where the seams all tear

Everything is supposed to be flawless

Flawless

Maybe I'll be human instead
