ALMOST PERFECT

*ALMOST* *PERFECT*

Wish I could scream at the top of my voice then take my last
Wish I could change a few things in my past
I'd let it all out, take a bow and leave life's stage
I'd take away my love, my care and my courage
So now the world must know this fact
My audience for my final act!

A new chapter ends early, a little bit too
Turned out to be an old book with a cover new
Hope revived then killed by its giver
Now I live in the pain of a boy believer
Believed my heart's salvation was here at last
A fool again as I relive my dark past

At the worst of times, it came to its end
So I cried unto the shoulders of a friend
Expecting the pain to subside as the tears dried
But all I could do was live as I slowly died
She'd tell me to take heart and remain strong
My friend would remind me that he was wrong

He was all I could ever want and more
My prince, my heartthrob and my savior
He brought light to my forever darkened world
And I gave him my love, my heart and my word
Now I grieve the loss of my charming prince
He left and shattered my heart that's been broken since

Hear my story and let it remain on your hearts
Life would come to you, presenting many paths
Do not make the same mistake by following your heart
For there are some things you cannot just restart
He was almost perfect and so I loved him whole
Now he left in me a great big hole
He was almost perfect and so I let him in
Now I weep as I always have from the very beginning

But maybe things might be different for you
I cannot decide on what you should do
Trust him or trust her with your fragile heart
Then be happy and smile as they play their part
Just do not say that I did not warn you before
Cos if you come to me, I'll show you the door
She was almost perfect and so was he
But whatever will be is still that which will be!
