"Perfect" lyrics

"Perfect"

Should've seen it coming, rolling down your eyes
I hope you're alright though, I hope you're alright
And I should be sleeping, holding you at night
It doesn't feel right though, it doesn't feel right

And after all we've been through I've lost a friend
Didn't think we'd get here
Crazy how we end up strangers again

I tried my best but you let me down
Loving you ruins me but I'll stick around
Remember the nights when we danced on the ceiling?
Now I stare at mine and just picture you leaving
I'm not perfect but is anyone perfect?
After all this time guess I thought I'd be worth it
'Cause you used to call every night you got home
Now I'm getting used to just being alone
Just being alone

Should've seen it coming when you'd just fall asleep at night
It didn't feel right, no, it didn't feel right
Remember a time when our love was for life?
And now we just fight, no, now we just fight

'Cause after all we've been through I've lost a friend
Didn't think we'd get here
Crazy how we end up strangers again

And so I tried my best but you let me down
Loving you ruins me but I'll stick around
Remember the nights when we danced on the ceiling?
Now I stare at mine and just picture you leaving
I'm not perfect but is anyone perfect?
After all this time guess I thought I'd be worth it
'Cause you used to call every night you got home
Now I'm getting used to just being alone

Can you repair a heart that's been broke
'Cause I lost a piece of my own to the hope
That one day you'd wake up and maybe you'd know
That I would have died just for you to come home

I tried my best but you let me down
Loving you ruined me but I stuck around
Remember those nights when we danced on the ceiling?
Now I stare at mine and just picture you leaving
No, I'm not perfect but is anyone perfect?
After all this time I thought I'd be worth it
And you used to call every night we got home
Now I'm getting used to just being alone
Just being alone
