Feels like I'm sixteen years old
Still riding my bike down that road
I made mistakes growing up
That you couldn't love me for
Never been good on my own
I even changed all my clothes
Stayed at home, always waiting for you to call back
Put you on a pedestal
Tryna be the perfect girl
There, I said it
You made me regret it
'Cause I hated
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, oh
You would never laugh at my jokes
Even when we were alone
I was always holding my breath
But you kept the water running, running
Staring at you 'til I'm fine
Trying not to cry outside
You couldn't talk and I'm always sorry
You never meant to hurt me like that, right?
Put you on a pedestal
Tryna be the perfect girl
There, I said it
You made me regret it
'Cause I hated, woo
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, ooh, ooh
That I can't be perfect
Ooh, oh
It's like I want to hate myself
The more you try to push me up
The harder I wanna stay here
And we were bad for my health
I'm thinking it's time I'm not picking up, picking up
Why can't I be perfect?
Ooh, oh
Feels like I'm sixteen years old
Still riding my bike down that road
