Today's Sad Song

We have to say good bye 

All things have to end 

But I keep insisting 

I go on resisting 

Why should I pretend?  

We paid for some mistakes 

We never should have made 

So it seems we were living in dreams 

But now those dreams fade 

 In a perfect world 

You'd hold me forever 

In a perfect world, our love would stand tall 

But I'm not perfect 

And you're not perfect 

Cause if you were 

I wouldn't have loved you 

At all  

It took a little time 

For me to come so far 

But finally I see 

That our impurity 

Makes us who we are  

There's no going back 

We can't undo the past 

We've mastered the art 

Of breaking apart 

And falling so fast  

In a perfect world 

You wouldn't have left me 

Feeling left out, abandoned, and small 

But I'm not perfect 

And you're not perfect 

Cause if you were I wouldn't have loved you  

So I'm sorry for the million awful things I did and said 

And the million other things I should have

 Said and done instead 

And I'm sorry you won't spend each minute 

Growing old with me 

I'm sorry that our life will never be  

The two of us on Sunday morning 

Waking as the light shines through 

Knowing at that very moment 

That I love you 

And you love me, too  

In a perfect world, we'd get to raise a family 

In a perfect house with pictures on the wall 

But I'm not perfect, and you're not perfect 

And nothing's perfect 

If we were perfect 

We'd wake up one day 

Unable to recall 

If we had ever truly loved 

At all
