You're 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, I said honey are you sure.
I know we're moving fast but where we're headed you haven't been before
No, 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 how you see the clock.
You say you're gonna leave me and I hope someday the tick does more than tock.
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?
So I started making plans a little poison in your drinks to ease my nerves
I hated every second that I gave to you I knew 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've 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.
I carry all the little trophies of your touch
But today, I'm going to beat you to the punch.
How are you so good to me?
How are you so good to me?
I see the fire leave 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.
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.
