Only a moment to paint a perfect picture Always an image of yourself Monochromatic just like your crazy poems I swallow them you spit them out Oh you turned away The only logic to this black arrangement Misrepresented, your hands they work too fast I'm counting doorways leading out I wanted perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody gets it I needed perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody ever fits This isn't progress - crashing computer screens That's all that's left of you and me I gave you secrets - made you my confidante That's all you'll ever get from me Oh I loathe your taste I wanted perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody gets it I needed perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody ever fits
