(verse 1)
made the mistake
of trying to be your perfect girl
slowly slipped away
after all of what I took from you
can you not see
the sadness in my eyes
wondering if you'll ever care
or if I'm wasting time
just wasting

(chorus)
you said that you love me
then how come all I see from you
is these bleeding wounds
all I feel
when I think of you
is the bruises on my heart
here's my broken heart

I wish it'd linger on consciounce
how can you say with a whole heart that I hurt you
when you hurt me
even as you're not here
I still feel torn in two
trying to be perfect
just, for you

(verse 2)
broken down
is the heart I thought would be fine
this just won't end
how can you say you love me
when all you've given me was hate
why don't I give you what you made me
see the specks of dust
it's where my heart must be
after you had a hold of me
now all I see
is the fire in your eyes
waking up
to the dreadful dream of my futures past
still I seem to not be able to last
how can you honestly say you cared
when you were never ever there

(chorus)
you said that you love me
then how come all I see from you
is these bleeding wounds
all I feel
when I think of you
is the bruises on my heart
here's my broken heart
I wish it'd linger on conscience
how can you say with a whole heart that I hurt you
when you hurt me
even as you're not here
I still feel torn in two
trying to be perfect
just, for you

(verse 3)
all I feel is a burden
from the darkest of my past
of how you've walked all over me
of how I still start to see
broken in the thoughts I tread to far
trying to fix what remains of my heart
look at me
while you're threatening
try and see
you've caused enough pain
haven't you won!?
so leave
and just see
we were never meant to be
how can you say you loved me
when you only hurt me
I guess I'll never be
your perfect girl

(shout) I WILL NEVER BE YOUR PERFECT GIRL!
