Lyrics
Perfection © 2010 Matthew Scharpf
So She
Threw back my ring at me
Ran down my stairs in agony
Into to her car and sped away
So I
Jumped from my chair and I
Stopped on the stairs and realized
She isn't the first that's left this way
Perfection you elusive thing
I'll never forgive the mistakes you bring
And all the flaws I try so hard to hide
So I walk up my stairs to try...again
I've spent years
Mostly wasted shifting gears
Went a thousand miles an hour and never steered
And became this wreck I hardly know
Then there she was
And I felt that familiar buzz
She still looks like sunshine to my dusk
And too radiant to brave a hello
Perfection you elusive thing
I'll never forgive the mistakes you bring
And all the fears I try so hard to hide
So I walk up my stairs and cry...again
Perfection you elusive thing
I'll never forgive the mistakes you bring
And all the fears I try so hard to hide
