Perfectionist Dream lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be present with you
But I never live in the moment
So many things I wanna do
Just waiting for my doors to open
Oh, if only I knew
Which ones I should walk through
I haven't got a clue

[Chorus]
Will I ever wake up from this dream
Knowing it’ll kill my self-esteem
Wanna go back to reality
I can't afford to lose my creativity
Holding onto all my fantasies
But I wasn't made to act like a machine
I’ve forgotten how to take my time and breathe

[Post-Chorus]
Can't stop the perfectionist dream
It's not as it seems

[Verse 2]
So why can't I wake up?
I just wanna be free
Free from the pressure
The pressure that's ruining me
Yeah, I just can't seem to break through
This wall of perfection
But maybe I'm not even meant to
[Chorus]
Will I ever wake up from this dream
Knowing it'll kill my self-esteem
Wanna go back to reality
I can’t afford to lose my creativity
Holding onto all my fantasies
But I wasn’t made to act like a machine
I've forgotten how to take my time and breathe

[Post-Chorus]
Can’t stop the perfectionist dream
It's not as it seems
Dream
It's not as it seems
