|
nobody ever, ever could tell her |
|
what it's like to fall in love |
|
tired of searching, she wants to be perfect |
|
nothing's ever good enough |
|
and i watch, i wait |
|
catch her eye and look away |
|
nobody ever, ever could tell her |
|
but i tried |
|
now she keeps me hanging on the line |
|
praying at the sky |
|
every single night's the same |
|
she's a perfect girl |
|
hanging by phone |
|
praying all alone |
|
everybody knows her name |
|
she's a perfect girl |
|
and she wanted to want me |
|
wanted to need me |
|
wanted all those distant stars |
|
wanted a surgeon, a full operation |
|
but she couldn't bear the scars |
|
and she cut me well |
|
but she wouldn't be cut herself |
|
and nobody told me i could be lonely |
|
when i fell |
|
i'm not perfect, what's a girl to do |
|
in a perfect world i'd be perfect too |
|
but the longer that she makes me wait |
|
the more my heart begins to break |
|
but it's worth it when she comes |
|
in the morning she'll be gone |
|
and i'll be |
