love this louder,more in your face version of the still recognisably unique Laura with help from Rat. A fantastic combination.

Featuring the iconic guitar sound of Rat (Ned’s Atomic Dustbin) and the compassionate melodic arrangements of Laura Kidd (Penfriend / She Makes War), this song implores the listener to stop chasing perfection and step fully into themselves and their perceived imperfections.
No experience is truly wasted. Try, fail and try again. Be yourself, fall in love, get it all terribly wrong and get back up.
You’ve got this.

LYRICS
======
Goodbye, a little sigh
Sticking fingers in my eyes
Out of time, out of sight
So I'll try another night
I won't regret all the hours that I spent
I'm not here to make amends
I am not the quiet type
Destruction makes us stronger
We will always get it wrong
So fall to pieces, fall apart
We’ll stick it back together
Am I being interesting?
Turning cheek and fighting spin?
Finding comfort in my skin?
Imperfection’s always in
I won't regret all the hours that I spent
I'm not here to make amends
No, I’m not the quiet type!
Destruction makes us stronger
We will always get it wrong
So fall to pieces, fall apart
We’ll stick it back together
Destruction makes us stronger
We will always get it wrong
So fall to pieces, fall apart
Then get back up
Destruction makes me stronger
I will always do my best
So fall to pieces, fall in love
We’ll stick it back together

"...an album that looks as much to this side of The Pond as the UK, She Makes War's debut album is a dark melange of 90s Riot Grrrl meets indie-pop meets disquieting ballads, all the time not missing a beat..."
