Why can't it be perfect
This love's not even real
Why don't I cry for you
Love was dead from the start

I don't want you
I don't need you
I'll forget you
It doesn't matter
I'll play along
Writing our song
We are perfect
I-I love you

No, this is all wrong
Why aren't you gone
I know you're not that strong
Don't listen to me
We'll always be
so perfectly happy

The lies you succumb to
blissfully unaware
I don't know how you can't
see through my facade

I don't want you
I don't need you
I'll forget you
It doesn't matter
I'll play along
Writing our song
We are perfect
I-I love you

No, this is all wrong
Why aren't you gone
I know you're not that strong
Don't listen to me
We'll always be
so perfectly happy

And maybe one day I'll
Get to see your smile
In the arms of someone
Who loves you like I do

No, this is all wrong
Why aren't you gone
I know you're not that strong
Don't listen to me
We'll always be
so perfectly happy
