We were so perfect
i was so happy, almost in love with you
forgetting all the difficulties
because you would always come through
i tried to understand
why you would sacrifice all that
for one meaningless night you wouldn't remember
it could only end in a fight
before we had that problem
we could have survived anything
but after that every time i kept trying
i couldn't bring myself to look past everything
i couldn't ever see us fighting
let alone your presence being something i couldn't stand
i wish i could have changed that night
but it's something I'm never going to understand
craving to trust you again so you could be there
but after you broke my heart in so many ways
it was constantly driving me crazy to believe another lie
that maybe you weren't like that and maybe it was something i could just deny
the end of every night used to be sealed with one perfect kiss
but every night after i started to resent you
it gradually became something i wouldn't miss
the Saturday mornings that I'd wake up all alone
were something so depressing
wondering if you were home
Sundays didn't start with that satisfaction
of having that one person that you could ring
even though i wouldn't have needed you
it had just become a special thing
i tried so hard to forget those things
but still there was more to get around
even if i could have done all that
it was still something you needed that in me you hadn't found
you said you were truly sorry
that you missed me just as much
you said you regretted it
but still all i could think of was her touch
i wondered why you needed her
why i just wasn't enough
because the week before you were saying
that this was really love
but after a few weeks
of being all alone
i met another guy
and soon my feelings had grown
although he could never replace you
in a way it brought me comfort
and that's something you must have known
cos the best thing you ever did for me
was leave me all alone
i realized just one thing in that time
that you could stop caring in just one night
but still i could be fine
even if i was in love
you gave me all you had
i knew what it would be like
to be your girlfriend
even though i wouldn't take back that night
after a while i felt some closure
and that was enough to end the fight
cos that what you taught me, that everything would always be all right
