Perfect Me - Julia Fordham

Thanks for being soft and kind

For making me change my mind

About everyone and everything

Boxed in this corner of mine

You walked across my borderline

And reached the girl that used to be me

When I was brave

Fearless, alive and unsaved

When I was free

Of all these black lined boundaries

Avoiding any fire and smoke

Safety first is all she wrote

Barricading up the open doors

Headed for the comfort zone

And settled for a life alone

Looking back locked in the ivory tower

To when I’d jump in

Not wondering if I would sink or swim

When I would dare

To move an inch without a single care

Before I invented

Perfect me

Perfect me

Perfect me

Thanks for being sweet and strong

For making me feel I belong

To the land of the living

Like when I was brave

Fearless, alive and unsaved

When I was free

Of all these black lined boundaries

Before I invented

Perfect me

Perfect me

Perfect me
