"Perfect" Take a picture, dress it up Keep the best and crop it All she wants to be Is something to see Hide the scars and hide the flaws Fading in is all she wants She needs to be More than she sees Oh, the games we think we have to play To make us feel a certain way We'll never win with all of this Obsession with perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Lost in misdirection Obsession with perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Twisted our reflections We're already worth it, oh-oh, oh, oh 'Cause worth is not a prize you can win or lose You're already worth it Let go, let go Let go of perfect Let go of perfect Standing in a crowded room Chasing what she thought was true She tries to hide In her disguise Fake a smile, wear the lies Trying not to realize How alone she feels That this isn't real Oh, the games we think we have to play To make us feel a certain way We'll never win with all of this Obsession with perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Lost in misdirection Obsession with perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Twisted our reflections We're already worth it, oh-oh, oh, oh 'Cause worth is not a prize you can win or lose You're already worth it Let go, let go Let go of perfect Let go of perfect Oh, the games we think we have to play To make us feel a certain way We'll never win with all of this Perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Lost in misdirection Obsession with perfect, oh-oh, oh, oh Twisted our reflections We're already worth it, oh-oh, oh, oh 'Cause worth is not a prize you can win or lose You're already worth it Let go, let go Let go of perfect
Yessss girl! This is something I definitely relate to! I got the chills when the chorus started :) thanks for spreading such a great message! The world is a better place because you're in it!!
Positive change is growth. Nobody should ever stop growing to be a better person. The key is to be comfortable in your own skin and always work to be better :)
I love how it involved the male in the beginning. I feel so many don’t understand that guys have insecurities and self image issues just like anyone else. This is such a great song. So glad I came across it. The message is perfect.
My mom got your album for me and got it signed in Oregon. Some how I just listened to it this morning. This album played twice in a row. Thank you. Still obsessed with perfect as a mother of 3. Fighting it hourly.
" perfect " is a perfect song with a perfect message .. I just love the part saying Worth is not a prize you can win or lose , you're already worth it ..
Madilyn what a beautiful message. I love that you finish the video with washing your make-up off. I am a young mother and some days I just don't get to putting on my makeup, and it's so good to remember that the face I have--the face God gave me--is just fine without the makeup. Makeup is good too, but there's no shame in going granola :) Your lyrics helped remind me of that. Love your music. Thanks again!
Hey Madliyn, this is the perfect time to put this music video out!!! Because I am having a hard time in life and this will help me to always be myself! Thank you so much and I love you
Dan Kilgore hey. I made a film on my channel in hopes that it would motivate people, it’s about defeating your self doubts. Called the Kings a World:Battle of the Soul and I’d love it if you watched it :).
Chasing Starlight thank you so much!! This is actually the first single off my new album that will be released on August 24th :) it’s available for preorder now!
This is a great song! My god if my city heard this song things would be amazing! I can't tell anyone how many fakes there are in my city! It's just ridiculous that so many people wanna try to fake who they are and then they think people don't realize they aren't being real about it? Like I'm sorry there are people that realize that and sometimes they wanna help! Like please! Open up to someone helping you through something, because if you don't like who you are-something is going on to make you not like who are. Honestly, people! What is there to hide from!?!? Though I do understand it, I'm not for it. Advice: Be who you are, because why not? If someone doesn't like who you are, they aren't worth a breath of your life.
