perfect

you're seen as perfect
when you did everything wrong
and im seen as weak
when i just tried to stay strong

you're perfect, they say
loved by everyone you meet
and me, im avoided
always looking down at my feet

you're perfect, i've said
you were everything i wanted to be
naive, thats one word
but you'll never see

you don't realize 
you don't pay attention 
you can do no wrong 
what's the cost of perfection

tell me, please
what do you think went wrong
you finished many beats ago
yet i'm still playing this song 

tangled up, like headphones
broken and twisted, like our story
i guess this is the end 
you're still bathing in your glory

do you even want it to be ok
do you really believe what's done is done
you could have fixed it
and all you did was run

i still have feelings you know
those just don't go away
i thought i could trust you 
i honestly thought you would stay

trust is precious, you have to be careful
my mistake, trust fooled us all
but you fooled me the most
every morning i'm braving the fall

hours turn into days
days turn into weeks
still one call away 
a call so far, so out of reach 

have you forgotten who we were
the fights, the tears
but also the late nights, the laughs
all through these years 

we always seemed to make it
always seemed to see another day
but this time it's different 
we both walked away

we walked away from everything 
from each other, most of all 
but what hurt the most was after,
when you never tried to call.

merry christmas, happy birthday 
it'll all be said apart 
i miss you, we'll be together someday
thought but never spoken

what's the cost of perfection?
please, tell me
have you figured it out yet
because i have, i see

i see what your life is like now
without me, without this
yeah, it's been hard to fight
but the apologies we seemed to miss

you've taken everything 
but you saved us for last
thought you'd have a little fun?
well congratulations, you've won

i hope you're happy
really, i do 
i hope he makes you happy 
he in five years? who?

i would have stuck by you
that was the plan
and if he breaks your heart?
come back, i know you can

but i'm not going to forgive you
not this time around
i'm worth more than that
sorry, it's your turn to drown

you're perfect, i've heard 
but what i don't understand 
is how you're seen as perfect
when you left me alone in this awful land
