When we were together
We were perfect
As only perfect can be
Our melody rang throughout the night
But as it rang on
It became shrill and bitter
Painful and ugly
Now I see a brand new perfect
A different, less intense, less powerful feeling
It's more gentle, caressing
My heart doesn't soar for it
But neither will it break for it
It's safe and warm
Unlike our raging inferno
Your still lighting our fire
But now, I shall walk away
For a girl can only take so much
Heartbreak, lonliness and confusion
Before she throws in the towel
And walks away
As I am doing
