If I had to break it down I'd say it's the way you love to dance Moving the furniture when my back is turned The flick of the lights, and the world falls away And your office job and your silver hair But our shapes in the dark are The reason I've stayed for all these years I thought I was a genius, but now I'm 22 And it's starting to feel like all I know how to do is Put on a suit, and take it away With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells They fill up my nights, and then they float away I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames And a throat that fills with panic every festival day Dutifully falling apart for the Princess of Norway But you with your doll's lashes, your infinite T-shirts I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's You'd take me down I guess I'll always be this way Swallowed up by the words and halfway to space But there, by the fire, you offered your hand And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan You felled me clean as a pine The man with the axe And the light in his eyes We've been through so many hard times I'm writing a love song for you, baby

I'm not perfect, but I try To make your days better than mine 'Cause you are worth it You are perfect And if you wanna leave me I understand quite easily That I'm not worth it I'm not perfect enough for you I wake up and I think about you The things you do, and how you do it that way I meet you and I see how you'll be, always car-wrecked You are perfect But when I look into your eyes I realize it's not the same way you look into mine So I have to say one last thing Just please, listen I'm not perfect, but I try To make your days better than mine 'Cause you are worth it You are perfect And if you wanna leave me I understand quite easily That I'm not worth it I'm not perfect enough for you, for you You always point out my mistakes The way I break so easily You always point out my flaws But I still applause at everything you do But when I look into your eyes I realize it's not the same way you look into mine So I have to say one last thing Just please, listen I'm not perfect, but I try To make your days better than mine 'Cause you are worth it You are perfect And if you wanna leave me I understand quite easily That I'm not worth it I'm not perfect enough for you I'm not perfect, but I try To make your days better than mine 'Cause you are worth it You are perfect And if you wanna leave me I understand quite easily That I'm not worth it I'm not perfect enough for you

Reached out for your hand but it's not there Where did it go where did you go You left me all alone now I'm on my own You said goodbye don't want to see your face on my phone Why did you leave me? And why did I think it was meant to be? Why did it hurt so badly? You were good to me You were good to me But did you ever hurt for me? I feel like I might drown and falling down I wanted you to be around but you were nowhere to be found You left me all alone now I'm on my own You said goodbye don't want to see your face on my phone Why did you leave me? And why did I think it was meant to be? Why did it hurt so badly? You were good to me You were good to me But did you ever hurt for me? I want to say I love you But you left what should I do I tried to forget you but you left what should I do Why did you leave me? And why did I think it was meant to be? Why did it hurt so badly? You were good to me You were good to me But did you ever hurt for me?

You were my answer to everything I didn't know But now I think it's time I let you go Do I still need you, I think we're better without Each other Please come running, running, running back to me Please come begging, begging, begging to change to how it used to be Feel so far away, I wish you would've stayed Now I'm stuck with all the things you used to say Just as long as I know you've got somewhere to go Feels so cold But please come running, running, running back to me Please come begging, begging, begging to change to how it used to be Running, running, running Begging, begging, begging, begging To wonder how you're doing is just a waste of my time Stop running, running, running through my mind Please stop running, running, running through my mind
