My mask is unbreakable

Despite all the pain

I am unshakeable

But inside, I’m insane


Forever and ever and ever

Drifting away

I’ll never, never, never

Be the same


I feel it in each word

It hits me day after day

Like a flightless bird in a cage

I was never really free anyway


Baby, baby

It’s not what you wanted

But it’s all you need

It’s ok that you’re not okay

Who wants perfect anyway?


I know it feels like you’re falling down (Falling down)

I know it feels like you’ve hit the ground (Hit the ground)

I know it feels like there’s no way out (No way out)

Darling, take my hand now


I know it’s hard sometimes

To look to the sky

I know these are tough times

Just let your tears dry


It doesn’t feel right (Anyway)

Shadows in the night (Anyway)

Open your eyes (Anyway)

So you can see the light


Baby, baby

It’s not what you wanted

But it’s all you need

It’s ok that you’re not okay

Cause baby, who wants perfect anyway?

Darling, you’re perfect anyway


(Anyway)

(Anyway)

(Anyway)

Anyway

Aloha, strangers! This piece is written somewhat for myself and also partially for everyone else out there that feels the same way I do every day. Sending virtual hugs!
