Lyrics

She said that I was perfect
A knock-out, clean cut boy she wasn?t use 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

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 too many times by a jock-boy
Or drunk-ass who used her as a 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
I figured I could make you grin
When you lost touch every now and then
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect

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 use to
With green eyes, left-handed and a nice smile
I guess perfection only lasts a short while

And tell me why the world fell through
When you let go and I held on to you
I figured I could make you grin
When you lost touch every now and then
I?m wishing for one more chance
Then letting go, the rest is happenstance
I guess, I guess that life is never perfect
