Not Your Perfect Anything Lyrics by Tessa Barcelo

The Future Perfect Project: DIVINITY

2023

[Intro]
And I wanna go to war with my body
Wanna tell it no, cut it deep till I love me
[Verse]
Cut your hair but don’t cut it short
Overthink it till you’re dysphoric at midnight on your shower floor
Gotta get it right or they’ll close the door
Can’t wear that if you’re not a girl
Can’t be a girl unless you get the proportions right in your bedroom mirror
Take a breath I’m not seeing clearer
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I not enough for you?
Is it not enough to do
All the things you want me to?
I can’t explain
Can I not be what I want?
Can I not choose my own font?
All my words come back to haunt me anyway
[Chorus]
And I wanna go to war with my body
Wanna tell it no, cut it deep till I love me
I don’t wanna be another cookie cutter
But I keep cutting me
And I wanna go to war till I’m happy
Wanna see my face in the glass without laughing
I won’t be your perfеct girl, your perfect boy
I’m not your perfеct anything
[Verse]
Wear a skirt but it can’t be plaid
Whatever earrings you want but don’t get mad if they say you look like a girl
That’s just who you are in terms of the world
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m not enough for you
Got it, tell me something new
I will never fit your view
Insanity
Can’t define me with a word
Honestly the thought’s absurd
Oh my god wait have you heard
Fuck you and your tyranny
[Chorus]
I wanna go to war with my body
Wanna tell it no, cut it deep till I love me
I don’t wanna be another cookie cutter
But I keep cutting me
And I wanna go to war till I’m happy
Wanna see my face in the glass without laughing
I won’t be your perfect girl, your perfect boy
I’m not your perfect anything
[Bridge]
I wanna break the mold
But somehow there’s a mold for those who break it
Gotta do it their way
Be palatable, be forgettable
Be what you want but don’t be regrettable
Gotta do it their way
[Chorus]
And I wanna go to war with my body
Wanna tell it no, cut it deep till I love me
I don’t wanna be another cookie cutter
But I keep cutting me
And I wanna go to war till I’m happy
Wanna see my face in the glass without laughing
I won’t be your perfect girl, your perfect boy
I’m not your perfect anything
