Something Perfect

Why couldn't you be what I needed?
It was so hard trying to make you see
Every step I take reminds me of you
But things are getting easier to do
Could I get over, over?
Could I get over, over you?
We could've grown older, older
Could've grown old and grey with you

You let me slip with your fingers
Time and time again
What we had still lingers, oh
And it leaves me thinking

We could have been something perfect
But God knows you thought I wasn't worth it
Could have been something perfect
Now I know you were never worth it
We could have been something
What if we were something perfect?

There is a hole in my heart where
All our memories turn to a blur
It is a fact coming down before
It's not somewhere I like to go anymore
You will always, always
Always be the one who got away
'Cause I still miss you, miss you
'Cause I still miss you to this day

You let me slip with your fingers
Time and time again
What we had still lingers, oh
And it leaves me thinking

We could have been something perfect
But God knows you thought I wasn't worth it
Could have been something perfect
Now I know you were never worth it
We could have been something
What if we were something perfect?

I watched you walk away, you said
You would always stay
We were so in love one minute
Next your heart's not in it
Now I'm barely holding on tonight
Will there be a morning light?

We could have been something perfect
God knows you thought I wasn't worth it
Could have been something perfect
Now I know you were never worth it

We could have been something perfect
But God knows you thought I wasn't worth it
Could have been something perfect
Now I know you were never worth it
We could have been something
What if we were something perfect?
