One Percent (Revisited)

(album: Canaan Cox - 2022)

Momma says you were never good enough for me
But even she knows that's a lie
And daddy says just put you into a melody
Use it in the next song Iwrite
My best friend tries to make laugh
It works for a second but the smile never lasts

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget
Something that was 99% perfect
Looking at those odds you think we could make it work
But somehow all we saw was hurt
For the love of God stop telling me I should moveon
We were made to be just the timing was wrong
I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
What I know we have, well what we should
Trust me, if Icould, I would

If Icould I'd have moved on by now
And they'll all say Ihaven't tried
But it's not that easy cause we've gone round and round and round
But we end up here every time

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget
Something that was 99% perfect
Looking at those odds you think we could make it work
But somehow all we saw was hurt
For the love of God stop telling me I should move on
We were made to be just the timing was wrong
I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
What I know we have, well what we should
Trust me, if I could, I would

I'd do anything to make them see
That you're the 1% I need

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget
Something that was 99% perfect
Looking at those odds you think we could make it work
But somehow all we saw was hurt
For the love of God stop telling me I should move on
We were made to be just the timing was wrong
I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
What I know we have, well what we should
Trust me, if Icould, I would
