Perfect Lyrics

She said that I was perfect

A knock-out, clean-cut boy she wasn't used to

With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile

I guess perfection only lasts a short while

Cause I know it's all about the looks now

You live and learn and then you throw the towel in

But I wish we'd jump ahead a few years

Cause right now I'm tired of the damn tears

So let go and hear me out again

And tell me why the world fell through

When you let go and I held on to you

I guess, I guess that life is never perfect

No life is never perfect

She said she didn't know why

She figured I would be the classic kind of nice guy

With girlfriends who tied me up for three years

It's too bad she listened to her damn fears

She'd been burnt to many times by a jock boy

Or drunk-ass who used her as his sex toy

And now I don't get a chance to live up

But I know I'm never going to give up

So let go and hear me out again

And tell me why the world fell through

When you let go and I held on to you, uh huh

I figured I could make you grin

When you lost touch every now and then

I guess, I guess that life is never perfect

No, life is never perfect

No, life is never perfect

No, life is never perfect

No, life is never perfect

Tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why

A thousand times

She said that I was perfect

A knock-out, clean-cut boy she wasn't used to

With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile

It's too bad time with her wasn't worthwhile

So let go cause here I go again

And tell me why the world fell through

When you let go and I held on to you, uh huh

I figured I could make you grin

When you lost touch every now and then, uh huh

I'm wishing for one more chance

Then letting go, the rest is happenstance

I guess, I guess that life is never perfect

No, life is never perfect

And I am not that perfect

Cause life is never perfect

And I am not that perfect

Cause life is never perfect
