Flawless Songtext
von Charles Goodwin

I came into this world like an atom bomb
Dropped on your house in Avalon
If I wasn′t blowing up, I was melting down
Mom and Dad, you'd clean up the mess
You tried to set me straight, you did your best
I don′t know how you raised me without nervous breakdowns
Instead of being the perfect kid, I perfected being the opposite
Ran you through hell while I ran wild and free
I always wanted to make you proud
So sometimes I would buckle down
Redirect my energy, walk the path you want for me, try to be

Flawless
Fly higher than the sun
Everything you want or could ever need
But it's hopeless
I try my best, fall short, and miss
Look back on it and wish my best was better than it is
I hope you will forgive me
For not being flawless


I finally came to terms with the human condition
I'd try to succeed with realistic ambitions
And I thought I had it all figured out, then I met you
My world turned upside down, ′cause I′m not satisfied
If I'm anything less than perfect in your eyes
Love, don′t let me fly too high
Don't let me crash and burn, trying to be

Flawless
Fly higher than the sun
Everything you want or could ever need
But it′s hopeless
I try my best, fall short, and miss
Look back on it and wish my best was better than it is
I hope you will forgive me
For not being flawless

I know I'm not the man you think you see
When your trusting eyes are looking up to me
I′ll figure out how I can be the father you deserve and need
I could do anything if I could be
The perfect parent, perfect spouse
Perfect child, things might work out
If only it wasn't so hard to be


Flawless
Fly higher than the sun
Everything you want or could ever need
But it's hopeless
I try my best, fall short, and miss
Look back on it and wish my best was better than it is
I hope you will forgive me
For not being

Flawless
Fly higher than the sun
Everything you want or could ever need
But it′s hopeless
I try my best, fall short, and miss
Look back on it and wish my best was better than it is
I hope you will forgive me
For not being flawless
