This Perfect Things

She awakens with a chill by the open window

As the wind breathes it's cold

It hurts to know that what he needs

Is someone she can never be

And it runs from her eyes uncontrolled

"Give it time," she thinks

And hope still lingers in the air

But denial is a fleeting remedy

She squeezes skin with painted fingers

And the bleeding is a cruel reminder

That everything she's suffering is real

Chorus:

This perfect thing called love

Can leave you ripped up broken-hearted

Waiting for the sky to fall

This perfect thing called love

Can make you wish you never started

If you knew you would lose it all

He stands alone but satisfied as the dust clears

And the scars he wears have only made him stronger

For a wasted year he stayed and tried

A thousand times to make it right

But how could he ignore it any longer

"Give it up," he thinks

And wishes she could just move on

But he can't undo this thing he has done

And as she sees him slip away

She looks for ways to kill the pain

Is this what you get when you love someone?

Repeat Chorus

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Let it go

Let it go

Repeat Chorus (2x)
