Price of Perfection - Katherine Lynn-Rose | slowed down

Описание: Lyrics:

David has a bachelor's and master's degree
David's married, soon to have a family of three
David makes six figures, and what about me?
Yeah, call me a 'wannabe'
Mom says, "Ditch the hobbies, find a job to pursue"
Dad says, "Don't go chasing dreams that you can't go through
David couldn't do it, so neither could you"
Now I've got something to prove
'Cause I'm so sick of second best
I'm so sick of not impressed
This family's obsessed, with validation and reputation
American Dream (American Dream)
Tell me, what's the price of perfection?
Tell me why I crave your affection
When excellence is expected, praise is a luxury
American Dream (American Dream)
Why do my achievements define me?
Why does life feel so damn confining?
When success is respected, there's no room for mediocrity
I overcompensate in everything that I do
I bring home all the trophies that I won just for you
You see a starving musician in debt from tuition
I'm never enough for you
'Cause I'm so sick of being stressed
Working hard at your request
This family's obsessed, with validation and reputation
American Dream (American Dream)
Tell me, what's the price of perfection?
Tell me why I crave your affection
When excellence is expected, praise is a luxury
American Dream (American Dream)
Why do my achievements define me?
Why does life feel so damn confining?
When success is respected, there's no room for mediocrity
You've lived a life of sacrifice
Nothing I do could dare suffice
I'll never stop trying and trying to be enough
Enough for you
(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Da, da, da, da, da, da)
American Dream (American Dream)
Tell me, what's the price of perfection?
Tell me why I crave your affection
When excellence is expected, praise is a luxury
American Dream (American Dream)
Why do my achievements define me?
Why does life feel so damn confining?
When success is respected, there's no room for mediocrity
