Perfect Lyrics

[Chorus: All & Daniel Seavey + Jack Avery]
Gonna give my love away
'Cause you don't deserve it
And I feel some type of way
'Cause you left me broken
Though I tried and tried again
See, the fight ain't worth it
And no matter what you say
You know you're far from perfect

[Refrain: All]
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect

[Verse: Zach Herron]
I got no time to deal with your negativity
I'm losing my patience all on your half apologies
No way we can make it with all this animosity
No longer my problem imma switch my priorities
[Refrain: All]
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect

[Chorus: All & Daniel Seavey + Jack Avery]
Gonna give my love away
'Cause you don't deserve it
And I feel some type of way
'Cause you left me broken
Though I tried and tried again
See, the fight ain't worth it
And no matter what you say
You know you're far from perfect

[Refrain: All]
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect
[Verse: Corbyn Besson]
I got no time to deal with your negativity
I'm losing my patience all on your half apologies
No way we can make it with all this animosity
No longer my problem imma switch my priorities

[Refrain: All]
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect

[Chorus: All & Daniel Seavey + Jack Avery]
Gonna give my love away
'Cause you don't deserve it
And I feel some type of way
'Cause you left me broken
Though I tried and tried again
See, the fight ain't worth it
And no matter what you say
You know you're far from perfect

[Refrain: All]
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect
You're not so perfect, now
You're not so perfect
