Perfect
She said that I was perfect
A knock-out, clean-cut boy she wasn't used to
With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile
I guess perfection only lasts a short while
Cause I know it's all about the looks now
You live and learn and then you throw the towel in
But I wish we'd jump ahead a few years
Cause right now I'm tired of the damn tears
So let go and hear me out again
And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No life is never perfect
She said she didn't know why
She figured I would be the classic kind of nice guy
With girlfriends who tied me up for three years
It's too bad she listened to her damn fears
She'd been burnt to many times by a jock boy
Or drunk-ass who used her as his sex toy
And now I don't get a chance to live up
But I know I'm never going to give up
So let go and hear me out again
And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you, uh huh
I figured I could make you grin
When you lost touch every now and then
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
A thousand times
She said that I was perfect
A knock-out, clean-cut boy she wasn't used to
With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile
It's too bad time with her wasn't worthwhile
So let go cause here I go again
And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you, uh huh
I figured I could make you grin
When you lost touch every now and then, uh huh
I'm wishing for one more chance
Then letting go, the rest is happenstance
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
And I am not that perfect
Cause life is never perfect
And I am not that perfect
Cause life is never perfect
A knock-out, clean-cut boy she wasn't used to
With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile
I guess perfection only lasts a short while
Cause I know it's all about the looks now
You live and learn and then you throw the towel in
But I wish we'd jump ahead a few years
Cause right now I'm tired of the damn tears
So let go and hear me out again
And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No life is never perfect
She said she didn't know why
She figured I would be the classic kind of nice guy
With girlfriends who tied me up for three years
It's too bad she listened to her damn fears
She'd been burnt to many times by a jock boy
Or drunk-ass who used her as his sex toy
And now I don't get a chance to live up
But I know I'm never going to give up
So let go and hear me out again
And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you, uh huh
I figured I could make you grin
When you lost touch every now and then
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
A thousand times

I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
No, life is never perfect
And I am not that perfect
Cause life is never perfect
And I am not that perfect
Cause life is never perfect
