Perfect 10 Songtext
von Ivory Knight

How many times can you sit there
Staring alone into your mirror
Eyes are empty of emotion
Trying to live somebody′s dream
How many ways to fit the mold
Be somebody's just not real
Proud of your hair and physical perfection
But you just see what you want to see

Oh, what you want to see
Wasted away in apathy
Blame everyone for your situation
Feeling that somebody else holds the key

Lost and alone in your confusion
Can′t break the chains that hold you down
Cannot live without their approval
Living by popularity
Living your life in denial

You listened to the things that they told you
You couldn't separate the lies from reality


Your own reality
When will you learn
They were only trying to sell you something

Now you're hidden away from the world
And when you cry alone at night
Does anybody care
You′re on your own perfect ten

Living for everybody else
Mold yourself into what they′re seeking
Sacrifice yourself without knowing why
There's no return from where you′re going
Do you really think perfection
Is measured on a bathroom scale
They turned your goals into an obsession
You never had a chance, never knew it
You listened to the things that they told you
You couldn't separate the lies from reality

Your own reality

When will you learn
They were only trying to sell you something

Now you′re hidden away from the world


And when you cry alone at night
Does anybody care
You're on your own perfect ten

Now that you did what they wanted
Turned their backs, turned on you
Do you feel that someone betrayed you
They′re selling a brand new point of view

You listened to the things that they told you
You couldn't separate the lies from reality
Your own reality
When will you learn
They were only trying to sell you something

Now you're hidden away from the world
And when you cry alone at night
Does anybody care
You′re on your own perfect ten

When will you learn
They were only trying to sell you something
Now you′re hidden away from the world
And when you cry alone at night
Does anybody care
You're on your own perfect ten
