The Little Things That Matter

Being Perfect

I want to be better,
I want to be great.
I want to be able to hold
This in my brain.

I want to be on stage,
I want to be on set.
I want to be what
I'm really not.

I want to be strong,
I want to be straight.
I have to finish it,
Before I break.

'Cause after I make this move,
I might not make another.
I have to finish this soon,
'Cause there might not be others.

You didn't notice me,
You gave away my part.
You didn't pay me attention,
So
I fell
Apart.

I needed this role,
I needed this show.
I needed to know,
This career was still a go.

I might not have tomorrow,
So I did it today.
I fail it anyway.
Now
It's
Gone.

I don't know how to do it,
I lost my trying kit.
I don't know how to hold on,
I fell so long ago.

Can't
you
hear
me?

I
Said
Save
Me!

I wanted to be better,
I wanted to be great!
I wanted to
Hold
This
In
My
Brain.

I wanted to be on stage,
I wanted to be on set.
I wanted to be,
What
I'm
Really
Not.

I wanted to be strong,
I wanted to be straight.
I wanted to
Finish
Before
I
Break.

I made the move.
I don't have another.

Like a lion bane,
I made
my
name.

You lost me,
You lost your chance.

I said my line.
I played my part.
I did my scene.

Now it's yours.
