Learning To Be Perfect

We're living in the here and now,
Forever looking down
Or back, to what has passed
Memories of happiness
Could we go back to that?
Could we make those smiles last?
Maybe I'm wrong
But this is all I have
It's been so long
And there's no going back

This isn't what I want to see
And this isn't who I want to be
My heart is battered and bruised
All I know is being used
So take my hand and swear
That you'll never forget me
Take our first breath of air
And say you'll never regret me
I don't want to be
Someone caught easily
I want to be worth it
I want to be perfect

It's obvious we're not all right
But no one bothers
To make us whole, patch us up
Battlescars never fade
Nor do tears from yesterday
Maybe I'm wrong
So I'll let you correct me
You knew all along
So please don't forget me

This isn't what I want to see
And this isn't who I want to be
My heart is battered and bruised
All I know is being used
So take my hand and swear
That you'll never forget me
Take our first breath of air
And say you'll never regret me
I don't want to be
Someone caught easily
I want to be worth it
I want to be perfect

If it's all gonna be all right at the end
Please be there with me
And if our hearts will never mend
Just stay here with me
We know nothing but darkness
The light never shows
I'll beg for your forgiveness
Just don't let me be alone

You're the only one I want to see
You're all I want you to be
Your heart is light and free
I know it belongs to me
So i'll take your hand and swear
That I'll never forget you
Take our first breath of air
I know I'll never regret you
I have faith, you'll agree
It's so simple but it's not easy
I know I'm worth it
And I've learnt to be perfect
