Perfect

We have to say goodbye All things have to end But I keep insisting, I go on resisting Why should I pretend? We paid for some mistakes We never should have made So it seems we were living in dreams But now those dreams fade In a perfect world, you'd hold me forever In a perfect world, our love would stand tall But I'm not perfect And you're not perfect 'Cause if you were, I wouldn't have loved you at all It took a little time For me to come so far But finally I see that our impurity Makes us who we are There's no going back We can't undo the past We've mastered the art of breaking apart And falling so fast In a perfect world, you wouldn't have left me Feeling left out, abandoned, and small But I'm not perfect And you're not perfect 'Cause if you were I wouldn't have loved you-- So I'm sorry for the million awful things I did and said And the million other things I could have said and done instead And I'm sorry you won't spend each minute growing old with me I'm sorry that our life will never be The two of us on Sunday morning Waking as the light shines through Knowing at that very moment That I love you And you love me too In a perfect world, we'd get to raise a family In a perfect house with pictures on the wall But I'm not perfect, and you're not perfect And nothing's perfect If we were perfect We'd wake up one day unable to recall If we had ever truly loved at all
