You Are Perfect Too

Everything's coming off and I'm falling faster than our clothes can hit the floor

I know I shouldn't ask you if you hate it, I said, "Honey are you sure?"

I know we're moving fast, but where we're headed you haven't been before

And I know we aren't perfect, but at least we won't be lonely anymore

And how are you so good to me?

How are you so good to me?

By the fire in your eyes and the skin of my teeth

How are you so good to me?

It started with the walks around the block when you were mad to clear your mind

And every now and then became more often, now you're sorry all the time

But time can be a prison or a dream, depending how you read the clock

You say you're gonna leave me and I hope someday the tick does more than tock

How are you so good to me?

How are you so good to me?

I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth

Why are you doing this to me?

I started making plans, a little poison in your drinks to ease my nerves

I hated every second that I gave to you I knew you don't deserve

But I want you like a dying man who gave up on his dreams when he was young

Naming every hour that he wasted after things he could've done

But I won't put up with it

No, I'll put it down

I've learned to bury things I hate deep in the ground

And I carry all the little trophies of your touch

But today, I'm going to beat you to the punch

Why are you so good to me?

How are you so good to me?

I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth

How are you so good to me?

Now you’ll always be good to me

I stared at all the things we'd never have

And the blood around my feet became my throne

I ran my little fingers down his back

Whispered, "I'm the only love you'll never know"
