[Verse]
In a perfect world
You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl
I would drop my fears at the door
I would only bring myself and nothing more
And you let me be, a woman
And you let me be, a flawed woman
You would yearn to hear all about my past
What I've done, what I've did and why
Hear all my sick thoughts
And if I needed to, I could cry
And you would catch my tears
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, no, aye, no
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, to hide from themselves
[Chorus]
Shame
And I'm the one to blame
[Bridge]
You see right through me
You see through the smile
You see straight through me
You push past the lies, oh
You got it baby
Oh, oh, oh
In a perfect world
You're understanding, I'm not a perfect girl
I would drop my fears at the door
I would only bring myself and nothing more
And you let me be, a woman
And you let me be, a flawed woman
You would yearn to hear all about my past
What I've done, what I've did and why
Hear all my sick thoughts
And if I needed to, I could cry
And you would catch my tears
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, no, aye, no
You don't wanna be nobody else's place, to hide from themselves
[Chorus]
Shame
And I'm the one to blame
[Bridge]
You see right through me
You see through the smile
You see straight through me
You push past the lies, oh
You got it baby
Oh, oh, oh
