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
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 on how you read the clock
You say you're going to leave me
And I hope someday the tick does more than talk
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 drink to ease my nerves
I hated every second I gave to you
I know 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 have 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 gonna 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"
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
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 on how you read the clock
You say you're going to leave me
And I hope someday the tick does more than talk
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 drink to ease my nerves
I hated every second I gave to you
I know 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 have 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 gonna 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"
