Perfect

(album: Eraser Shavings - 2016)

We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
And now I'm in the last place I deserve
Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt
We could've been Perfect

We could've been Perfect
If it wasn't for your two friends
One in the blue dress
One in the blue can
Knew you hung around the wrong people
Knew you did the wrong things
But I ain't give a damn
Nah I ain't give a damn
Blinded by the smile
And I had to give it a chance
I should've ignored you
But I was sticking by myself
When you hit me on my cell
I was tripping and I fell
Towards you
And fell for you
Been on this mission going through hell for you
In this position I witnessing the differences within our characteristics but your physical description got me like well
Oh you don't have to be perfect
Lie by myself I was lying to myself
Like you worth it
Pretty ass
Pretty ass smirk
And a pretty ass face on an ugly ass person
Now it outweighs all
I see it always
Like catching the game's ball
But losing the ball game
I knew it wouldn't work
But I still wanted your touch
And when I lost it
It just hurt so much
Cause I know

We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
And now I'm in the last place I deserve
Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt
We could've been Perfect

I remember the first date
We saw a movie in town
I was so damn nervous
How stupid that sound
I usually suck with the conversation
And staying verbal
But afterward we talk as long as the movie plus all the commercials
It was all just really new
You were so beautiful
I was so into you
Soon after we took a break
I was doing an interview
When you texted me
"I been missing you"
Oh I was frozen
The radio heard me choking
Do you know how invincible I felt till that very moment?
I never had a girl I was into be into me
It was a whole new world I was as happy as a kid could be
We both had dreams they told us not in our reach
But I watched you in theatre you stole every single scene
I knew you acted
Just didn't knew you were acting
When with me
A shame you started acting differently

We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
And now I'm in the last place I deserve
Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt
We could've been Perfect

We could've been Perfect
But you finally showed me who you really were as a person
At first it was real different
But I tried to stick it out and deal with it
Like remember when you had me stop talking to my closest friend who was a female cause you said you felt threatened by her
Remember when I buy you you favourite colour of reefer for a holiday that you don't even celebrate and got nothing in return
Remember when you drink and I wouldn't make a move only cause I didn't wanna do something you could regret
And remember after we split you made lies about what I did when you'd been drinking but to my face you denied what you said
For the record I still think about you
How could I forget this
I heard you cried when you heard the last song
That wasn't my intention
I just wrote what I was feeling in that moment
The harsh reality of dating a poet
Hold up
I just want you to know that I don't hate you
And I'll admit
When I see you in the hallways I wish we'd talk again
And I don't want you to cry
But you should feel regretful
Just know we had potential

We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
We could've been Perfect
You ruined everything
And now I'm in the last place I deserve
Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt
We could've been Perfect

You ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
And you ain't gotta cry no more
