Lyrics
I tried to be perfect
The speaker attempted to achieve perfection.
But nothing was worth it
Despite the effort, nothing they did felt valuable or justified.
I don't believe it makes me real
They question whether striving for perfection defines their authenticity.
I thought it'd be easy
The speaker anticipated an easy path but encountered challenges.
But no one believes me
Others don't believe the speaker's intentions or words.
I meant all the things I said
The speaker genuinely meant everything they expressed.
If you believe it's in my soul
There's a belief that something essential resides within the speaker.
I'd say all the words that I know
They would express themselves fully to test if it's perceptible.
Just to see if it would show
Trying to demonstrate their true self.
That I'm trying to let you know
The speaker is attempting to communicate their feelings.
That I'm better off on my own
They believe they're better off alone or independent.
This place is so empty
The surroundings or the speaker's inner state feel desolate.
My thoughts are so tempting
Their thoughts are alluring but possibly detrimental.
I don't know how it got so bad
The situation has deteriorated considerably, and the speaker is unsure why.
Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing can save me
There are moments of intense chaos where nothing seems salvageable.
But it's the only thing that I have
Despite its destructive nature, this state is the only thing familiar or constant to the speaker.
If you believe it's in my soul
The belief persists that something essential resides within.
I'd say all the words that I know
They would express themselves fully to see if it's noticeable.
Just to see if it would show
Attempting to reveal their true self.
That I'm trying to let you know
Trying to convey their emotions or thoughts.
That I'm better off on my own
The speaker believes solitude is preferable.
(On my own)
I tried to be perfect
Reiterating the failed attempt to achieve perfection.
It just wasn't worth it
The pursuit of perfection wasn't rewarding.
Nothing could ever be so wrong
Things couldn't have gone more awry.
It's hard to believe me
It's difficult for others to trust or believe the speaker.
It never gets easy
Continuing on this path hasn't become any easier.
I guess I knew that all along
The speaker might have always known this truth.
If you believe it's in my soul
Perception of an intrinsic essence within.
I'd say all the words that I know
Expressing themselves fully to see if it's recognizable.
Just to see if it would show
Attempting to reveal their genuine self.
That I'm trying to let you know
Communicating their emotions or thoughts.
That I'm better off on my own
They believe they're better off alone.
