Start out as something beautiful

Hold out for something unreal

But don′t hold your breathBecause I'm all that′s left

Stay home, I've gone

So you walk away

Well I was once willing to admit you're perfect

And now the words they stutter off my lips

Well I was once willing to admit

You were perfect, perfect

And all my dreams

Hold out on my needs

Hold out, I′m all in

I can′t bet, I can't win

Save it all for the end

Hey now, let′s not pretend you didn't want to go down

Hey and now let′s all pretend

Save it all, pretend you didn't want to go down

Hey now, let′s all pretend

Well I was once willing to admit you're perfect

And now the words they stutter off my lips

Well I was once willing to admit

You were perfect, perfect
