PERFECT MAN

I tried to be a perfect man
I tried to find myself away I ran
Though on the outside I was
Smiling still, was soon revealed
Deep down in my heart I was sorry filled
And my heart cried out for truth.

Chorus:
You know I tried the best I could
Guess my best was never very good
How I so longed to be free
What could it be that's blinding me?

All my life I used to wonder why
To protect myself I lived a lie
I would even put on a different face
To hide the disgrace
I would even go by a different name
To run from all the shame.

Chorus:
You know I tried the best I could
Guess my best was never very good
How I so longed to be free
What could it be that's blinding me,
Blinding me

Now I know that there's a better way
I know it will bring a better day
I have put aside the broken dreams
What I wanted to be
Now I see that it's the Lord in me
That has set me free
And I no longer wonder why
To protect myself I lived a lie
The perfect man I tried to be
I see now no longer needs to be
The perfect man I tried to be
The perfect man I tried to be
