Perfect - Live at Apollo

[00:01.97] So, Hammersmith, speaking of overcoming fears
[00:07.95] It's quite a strange time, isn't it right now, I feel like
[00:12.56] There's so much darkness and there's a literal, like, eclipse happening tomorrow
[00:16.16] And it's kind of, I don't know about you, but it's made me feel really kind of insecure
[00:20.75] And really highlighting all the flaws that I find, I normally am quite good at hiding
[00:27.06] Um, but so, this next song is about embracing those flaws
[00:31.82] And the fact that no one really cares about them apart from us
[00:37.00] And the thing that connects us with other people, and it's like
[00:40.13] I can feel your energy, Hammersmith, and I can see your faces
[00:45.15] And to me, right here in this moment, as you are, you are completely perfect
[00:51.14]
[01:07.05] Cover my acne scars, hide my stretch marks
[01:13.78] Hide the ugliest parts of myself
[01:20.63] And I've lived in fear for so many years
[01:27.42] That I would never be enough
[01:35.14] Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
[01:38.70] Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
[01:42.08] Then it hits me, Lord above
[01:48.17] That maybe it's not worth it
[01:53.32] And no one needed perfect
[01:58.43] Anymore
[02:11.82] I have learned to trust and listen to my gut
[02:18.91] Find the gold in rust of my scars
[02:25.29] And you have held me down and I'm rising now
[02:32.11] 'Cause you don't know the things I'm made of
[02:39.73] Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
[02:43.37] Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
[02:46.85] Then it hits me like a drug
[02:52.92] That maybe it's not worth it
[02:57.82] And no one needed perfect
[03:02.98] Whoa, oh no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
[03:06.19] Oh, oh no (so much more than broken)
[03:09.70] Oh, oh no, oh (my heart is wide open)
[03:16.33] Oh, oh no (my scars fill with gold, it's)
[03:20.06] Oh, oh no (so much more than broken)
[03:23.36] Oh, oh no, oh (my heart is wide open)
[03:30.49] But now I'm standin' strong like I never was
[03:33.92] Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
[03:37.58] Then it hits me, Lord above
[03:44.78] My scars fill with gold, it's
[03:47.96] So much more than broken
[03:51.13] My heart is wide open
[03:58.03] My scars fill with gold, it's
[04:01.74] So much more than broken
[04:04.97] My heart is wide open
[04:11.65] Now I'm standin' strong like I never was
[04:14.99] Now I'm feelin' like I'm worth love
[04:18.48] Then it hits me, Lord above
[04:25.13] Maybe it's not worth it
[04:30.26] And no one needed perfect
[04:36.20] Anymore
[04:44.57] Thank you so much
[04:46.78]
