Perfect Doesn't Last
Unraveling Perfect Dreams: Love's Illusion Fades
Lyrics
I would have bet on us
I was confident in the success of our relationship.
We were untouchable, you and I
We felt invincible as a couple.
I couldn't get enough
I desired more of our connection.
It was a fairytale come to life
Our relationship seemed like a perfect fairy tale.
I had your heart
I believed I had your love.
ct least that's what I thought
At least, that's what I thought.
Now I'm second-guessing
Now I'm doubting our relationship.
Every moment
I question every moment we shared.
Wondering where we went so wrong
Reflecting on where our relationship went wrong.
I just keep asking
I continually ask myself.
Would this have been worth it
Was this worth it if I knew the outcome?
If I knew the ending all along
Would it have been better if I knew the end from the start?
What started so perfect
Our relationship, which began perfectly,
Was over too fast
Ended too quickly.
I should have seen the warning signs
I failed to notice the signs of trouble.
'Cause perfect doesn't last
Because perfection in relationships is not enduring.
You got inside my head
You influenced my thoughts significantly.
Taking up every inch of space
You occupied every space in my mind.
'Til there was no room left
Until there was no room for anything else.
So many parts of me erased
Many aspects of myself were erased.
You had my heart
You had my love and treated it poorly.
cnd tossed it in the dirt
You discarded it without care.
Now I'm second-guessing
Now I'm uncertain about every moment.
Every moment
I ponder where our relationship derailed.
Wondering where we went so wrong
I keep questioning.
I just keep asking
Was the journey worthwhile?
Would this have been worth it
If I knew the inevitable conclusion.
If I knew the ending all along
If the ending was clear from the beginning.
What started so perfect
Our perfect beginning.
Was over too fast
Ended abruptly.
I should have seen the warning signs
I failed to recognize the warning signs.
'Cause perfect doesn't last
Perfection is fleeting in relationships.
Perfect doesn't last
Emphasizing the impermanence of perfection.
With my rose-colored glasses on
I saw things optimistically.
I never saw it coming
I was unaware of the impending problems.
Maybe it's good you're gone
Perhaps it's a positive thing that you're no longer here.
But it still leaves me wanting you
But I still long for you.
To finally just tell me the truth
Yearning for you to be honest with me.
'Cause I'm second-guessing
Continuing to doubt.
Every moment
Questioning every shared moment.
Wondering where we went so wrong
Reflecting on where our relationship deviated.
I just keep asking
I keep asking myself.
Would this have been worth it
Was it worth it?
If I knew the ending all along
If I knew the outcome from the start.
What started so perfect
Our ideal beginning.
Was over too fast
Ended too swiftly.
I should have seen the warning signs
I overlooked the warning signs.
'Cause perfect doesn't last
Emphasizing that perfection is not enduring.
I would have bet on us
I was certain about the success of our relationship.
We were untouchable, you and I
We felt invincible as a couple.
