Lyrics

Verse

Every time I turn around

I see you laughing with your friends

Acting like you got

The picture perfect life again.

Perfect grades, perfect smile,

Perfect dreams in perfect style—

You get it all so easily...

Wish I could be you

Pre-chorus

You think you're so cool,

You think you're so perfect,

You look like you're living in a fantasy...

Chorus

I wish I could be you,

Wish I could feel

The picture perfect life

That you make look real.

But when I see you break,

I realize the truth:

No one is perfect—

Not even you.

It’s all a lie,

It’s all hopeless,

You made me see

No one can live a picture perfect life.

Verse

Even if we run,

Even if we hide

From the fears we hold inside,

They come back to us in time.

Bring out our tears,

Expose our fight—

No point in trying

To escape real life.

Pre-chorus

You think you're so cool,

You think you're so perfect,

You look like you're living a fantasy...

Chorus

I wish I could be you,

Wish I could feel

The picture perfect life

That you make look real.

But when I see you break,

I realize the truth:

No one is perfect—

Not even you.

It’s all a lie,

It’s all hopeless,

You made me see

I no longer want to chase this picture perfect lie.
