perfect girl — текст песни (black lab)

nobody ever, ever could tell her
what it`s like to fall in love
tired of searching, she wants to be perfect
nothing`s ever good enough
and i watch, i wait
catch her eye and look away
nobody ever, ever could tell her
but i tried

now she keeps me hanging on the line
praying at the sky
every single night`s the same
she`s a perfect girl
hanging by phone
praying all alone
everybody knows her name
she`s a perfect girl

and she wanted to want me
wanted to need me
wanted all those distant stars
wanted a surgeon, a full operation
but she couldn`t bear the scars
and she cut me well
but she wouldn`t be cut herself
and nobody told me i could be lonely
when i fell

i`m not perfect, what`s a girl to do
in a perfect world i`d be perfect too
but the longer that she makes me wait
the more my heart begins to break
but it`s worth it when she comes
in the morning she`ll be gone
and i`ll be
