Lyrics Done Is Better Than Perfect - CYRUS

Done Is Better Than Perfect

I ain’t been talking to no one, I keep to myself\nA room at the end of my hall with empty shelves\nIt’s me myself and I, don’t ever go out\n'Cause I’m not that person (no more, no more)\nAnd I spend most my summer scratching songs\n'Cause nothing that I wrote felt good enough\nIs anything we do ever done?\n'Cause I’m just not certain (no more, no more)\nAnd now I got some exes in the valley\nAnd I still got some women in Chicago\nBut life feels like a fucking uphill battle, yeah\nAnd I don’t think it’s worth it (no more, no more)\nAnd done is better than perfect, go figure\nDone is better than perfect, you with it? Yeah\nAnd I been treading in quicksand, tryna get my feet out from under me\nIf done is better than perfect, well alright, then I’m done, I’m done, I’m done\nI ain’t tweet about no shootings 'cause there’s too many shootings\nAnd since y’all busy praying I’ll choose action over retweets\nAnd the people over likes, why’s the dead give us life\nWhy does Black Lives Matter matter more than black lives\nYou see the problem ain’t the questions, it’s the one that reads the message\nAnd drafts up their reply like I’ll get back to this after breakfast\nLooks up from the kitchen table, lifts their plate up for some seconds\nUses the power that they’ve been given while people starve 'cause there’s no\npower and\nSticks and stones can’t break the bones of children toting guns (they can’t,\nthey can’t)\nBut stripper clips and automatics drew that line in blood\nAt least I thought you’re worth a fuck, what kind of future are we building?\n(Uh)\n'Cause all this floor plan shows is tall walls and short ceilings\nAnd if y’all don’t give a fuck, then I’m addicted to the sex (oh yeah)\nAnd if you really want advice, don’t go into business with your friends\nDon’t recommend you quote my verse 'cause I ain’t close to perfect\nAnd I used to smoke so much I can’t remember half my verses\nI’m just someone with a voice, but I ain’t sure this mic is working (nah)\nAs good at closing door as I am at closing curtains\nI’m two pinky rings away from getting diamond in my teeth\nAnd a couple songs away from living someone else’s dream\nJust know I’m done but I ain’t finished\nAnd if this is where we’re going tell my unborn children\nThat the world ain’t coming with 'em\nIf old habits die hard, it looks like I’m gon' make a killing\nAt the bathhouse
