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

Chorus:


I don't want you
I don't need you

I'll forget you
What does it matter


I'll play along
Writing our song
We are perfect


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

Chorus:


I don't want you
I don't need you

I'll forget you
What does it matter


I'll play along
Writing our song
We are perfect


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
