Perfect Life

You have this image of a perfect life.
Everyone and everything around you needs to be perfect.
No mistakes, no slips, just perfection.

You have high expectations for me that require me to be perfect.
I have high  expectations too,
But they require me to live up to my own standards.

We are going to Europe,
And you said if I make one mistake you won't take me away anymore.
You say you are not threatening me,
but what else am I suppose to think.

You think you're so perfect.
You think you know what I'm feeling.
Truth is you never know how I feel.

I won't say I'm sorry because I don't need to.
I'm not perfect,
But neither are you.
I don't fit into your perfect life,
And I don't ever plan to.
There is no such thing as a perfect life.
