Perfect Paroles

We never should have made
So it seems we were living in dreams
But now those dreams fade

In a perfect world, you'd hold me forever
In a perfect world, our love would stand tall
But I'm not perfect
And you're not perfect
'Cause if you were,
I wouldn't have loved you at all

It took a little time
For me to come so far
But finally I see that our impurity
Makes us who we are

There's no going back
We can't undo the past
We've mastered the art of breaking apart
And falling so fast And you're not perfect
'Cause if you were
I wouldn't have loved you--

So I'm sorry for the million awful things I did and said
And the million other things I could have said and done instead
And I'm sorry you won't spend each minute growing old with me
I'm sorry that our life will never be
The two of us on Sunday morning
Waking as the light shines through
Knowing at that very moment
That I love you
And you love me too

In a perfect world, we'd get to raise a family
In a perfect house with pictures on the wall
But I'm not perfect, and you're not perfect
And nothing's perfect
If we were perfect
We'd wake up one day unable to recall
If we had ever truly loved at all
