Words (Perfect Idiot)

PERFECT IDIOT

I wanted to depend on her. But she let me down. Now I’m a fool.

She’s like that all the time. Laughing at this love of mine.

All my friends say she’ll destroy me in the end, I’ll see.

But I know she’s the only one, the only for me...

She won’t tell me where she goes.

She won’t tell me who she’s with.

We’ve never had a conversation.

There’s never been a goodnight kiss.

My mind used to be so healthy, now I’m on one knee

Still I know she’s the only one, the only for me...

I’ve made myself the perfect life. The perfect lie.

The perfect mess.

And it’s perfectly clear that I’m a perfect idiot, and I don’t care.

I’ll just keep on telling her, and someday she might see.

Cause I know she’s the only one, the only for me...

I know this probably won’t ever come to be.

That there’ll be the tiniest place in her life for me.

I remember way back when. Old history. Worlds apart

I left behind the green, green grass

for this ghost town in my heart.
