Almost Perfect

Ok, here's the song I promised I'd post when I was finished:


Almost Perfect


Right - On the ground,
Beneath the feet I walk
You - Don't know what you say,
Don't know what you do
I - watch you turn away,
Look at me in shame
You - could never know just what it is you do to me!

Crash - Down to the floor,
Where all the empty bottles lay
I - Don't know what to say,
Don't know what to do
You - Will only scream at me,
My imperfections see
I - Don't know if there's anything that's right you see in me!

I know that I'm your anger,
I know that I'm your pain
Your worthless trophy mantle,
Your worthless claim to fame
Never good enough for you,
Never good for anything
And now all you see,
Imperfections you hate in me

Why - Do you lie to me,
And say that you're proud of me?
You - Always look at me,
As a disgrace you see
I - Am not what you seek,
Perfections so far gone
You - Will use me now to do what you never could have done!

I know that I'm your anger,
I know that I'm your pain
Your worthless trophy mantle,
Your worthless claim to fame
Never good enough for you,
Never good for anything
And now all you see,
Imperfections you hate in me

[Spoken:
Don't you know that I can't give you what you want from me?
This perfect, this false hope you're always looking for
Why don't you tell me what you think and that you never believed in me?
Because I don't have anything that's worth anything to anyone
]

Hate - For this shadow,
That you never recognized in me
Blame - Everything on me,
Because you're so Naive
You - Dislike in me,
Everything you hate in you
I - would tell but it's never like you listen to anything I say!

I know that I'm your anger,
I know that I'm your pain
Your worthless trophy mantle,
Your worthless claim to fame
Never good enough for you,
Never good for anything
And now all you see,
Imperfections you hate in me

Perfect, hate!
You try!
To break me now!





I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be, but almost is never good enough either.
