another day came by and you told me you had been so blue

I wonder if those words were true

you came by to talk to me, tried to ask if I could see

a beautiful scene of how things could be

I can't paint that picture for you

that is one thing you have to do

you have to do

then you found a perfect girl

a girl that made your world twirl

the most perfect girl in the world

your girl made all the birds sing

made a joke of everything

made everything seem pristine

I can't make things perfect for you

that is one thing that no one can do

no one can do

she heard one lie then the next

got fed up and finally said

"things cannot go on this way"

you came by to talk to me

asked me if I wanted to see

a beautiful scene of how things had been

convey half of the picture you drew

let the other parts be with you

keep them with you

I can't make things perfect for you

that is one thing that no one can do

no one can do
