Black Lab - Perfect Girl

Nobody ever, ever could tell her 
What it's like to fall in love 
Tired of searching, she wants to be perfect 
Nothing's ever good enough 
And i watch, i wait 
Catch her eye and look away 
Nobody ever, ever could tell her 
But i tried 

Now she keeps me hanging on the line 
Praying at the sky 
Every single night's the same 
She's a perfect girl 
Hanging by phone 
Praying all alone 
Everybody knows her name 
She's a perfect girl 

And she wanted to want me 
Wanted to need me 
Wanted all those distant stars 
Wanted a surgeon, a full operation 
But she couldn't bear the scars 
And she cut me well 
But she wouldn't be cut herself 
And nobody told me i could be lonely 
When i fell 

I'm not perfect, what's a girl to do 
In a perfect world i'd be perfect too 
But the longer that she makes me wait 
The more my heart begins to break 
But it's worth it when she comes 
In the morning she'll be gone 
And i'll be
