Perfect Seven Days
You were the one
The only man I trusted
And now my chances with you
Have flown out the window
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin/
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
Don't you dare
Tell me to
Go after someone else
I don't want anyone else
You're such a fuckin' idiot
For thinkin' that I could ever look at anybody else
The way I look at you
I know better
Than to trust a man
But you goddamn boy
You took me over
Pushed me over
The edge
And I didn't even know it
'Till I was almost at the bottom
But you sent me to the top
And shot me back down again
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin/
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
I don't wanna hear that you're sorry
And I don't wanna know about how wonderful I am
You're not just a stage
And you're not an obsession
You stupid little boy
What the hell was I thinkin'?
You'll never love me back
Don't give me hope,
Honey
Don't you dare say there's hope
I can't move on
And I can't turn back
You did this to me
And yet it's all my fault
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin/
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
The world keeps spinnin' 'round
But I've got every intention of stoppin' it from turnin'
And trust me,
Darlin',
Once I've gotten started,
There's no stoppin' me
There's no stoppin' me now
So you'd better be prepared
As I make the world cave in
And it's all for you
So maybe I've got no confidence
But if you like flexibility,
Then honey,
Let me show you
Exactly what you're missin'
What you're missin' out on now
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin/
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
I was willin'
To give you everythin'
Anythin' you would've asked for
I would've given it to you
I tried so hard
I showed you everything I have to offer
Is she really that much better
That much better than me?
I guess you must think she's prettier
'Cause I'm not pretty at all
We all want somethin' we can't have
Well all need somethin' we'll never have
And I want you
Yeah,
I need you
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin/
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
If I can't have you
Then I don't want anyone
'Cause all I really need is you
I told you that,
Honey,
I told you
So why can't you see,
Why can't you nderstand
That you're the only one I want?
Only you
Only you will do
I'll be alone forever
If I can't be with you
I'll be alone forever
Before being with anyone else
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
But I can't stop the shakin
'Cause now I know
That you'll never hold me
The way you said you would
Do you leave without saying goodbye
'Cause you don't wanna hear the words?
After all that,
You got together with someobody else
Tell me
What the hell
I was thinkin'
What was I thinkin'
When I let myself believe
That my perfect seven days with you
Would last?
The only man I trusted
And now my chances with you
Have flown out the window
Those were the perfect seven days
A single perfect week
Of dreamin' of you and me
And now the tears won't come
