I know what I've done
And I know what you've seen
And I know how I acted,
Just don't know where you've been.

Perfect is as perfect does
But so is stupid, and that's what I was.

I don't think you understand
The kind of creature that I am
And how I work, the way I move,
What I need, or need to prove.

Perfect is as perfect will do
But so is stupid, so are you.

I'm sorry, I love you, I hate who I am
But I can't be anything else
And someday, when you see how much you meant to me
I think you'll realize I had to do this for myself.

I'm falling apart to the silence
And I know it's not your fault
I'm dying from the absence
And I know it's not my fault

I'll make it up to you
But until I do
Just know

i tried so hard to love you.
