"The Perfect Girl"

You were a landmine lover

I was a tightrope walker

Not sure but I think I fell

For the madman’s daughter

You share the biggest things

When nobody’s listening

For a second almost felt home

Now it’s clear I was visiting

Everything you said in passing

What you wanted passing me by

Your story way too polished

All your edges smoothed I didn’t know why

Quit the trying to be cool

Just say what you need

Who said the perfect girl

Never asks for anything?

Struck a pose that we couldn’t hold

A losing hand we refused to fold

Just trying to have some fun

Before the whole damn thing explodes

We had some wild nights

Dancin all across the fault lines

Both knew that we’d never make it

Waist deep in a rising tide

Everything you said in passing

What you wanted passing me by

Your story way too polished

All your edges smoothed I didn’t know why

Quit the trying to be cool

And say what you mean

Who said the perfect girl

Never asks for anything

Now you’re screaming demands

I’ve never seen you so mad

You never told me but I never asked

Please put our mistakes on separate tabs

Quit the trying to be cool

Say what you need

Who said the perfect girl

Never asks for anything
