Perfect

Sitting in the corner, just watching me leave
You used to be the best thing that ever happened to me
Now I'm gone, gone, gone; so out of your reach
Now I'm just the best thing that you'll never see
So baby pack your bags, pack your things
You're just an example of things to never bring
Back to Mama, back to Papa, back home
Baby I just gotta say one thing
That I tried, tried, tried
I tried to be perfect
And then I opened my eyes and found, you're really not worth it
So now it's back to the basics of learning to love again
Again
I remember the first time that you looked my way
Those three empty words, oh we, said them each day
And now I'm supposed to say that you were the one that got away
But that's not true, that's not true
Moving on, something new
What some people call memories I call wasted time with you
All the bad times, it's a good time to just walk away, from you
So just know
That I tried, tried, tried
I tried to be perfect
And then I opened my eyes and found, you're really not worth it
So now it's back to the basics of learning to love again
Again
Oh and I admit, if I was wrong
But baby, this ain't a love song
Oh and I admit, I was wrong
But baby, this ain't your love song (oh)
So know that I tried, tried, tried
I tried to be perfect
And then I opened my eyes and found that
You're really not worth it
'Cause baby I tried, tried, tried
I tried to be perfect
And then I opened my eyes and found
You're really not worth it
So now it's back to the basics of learning to love again
'Cause baby I tried, tried, tried
I tried to be perfect
And then I opened my eyes and found that
You're really not worth it
