You're Perfect Too

Everything's coming off
 And I'm falling faster than our clothes can hit the floor
 I know I shouldn't ask you if you hate it
 I said, "honey are you sure?"
 I know we're moving fast
 But where we're headed you haven't been before
 And I know we aren't perfect
 But at least we won't be lonely anymore
 How are you so good to me?
 How are you so good to me?
 By the fire in your eyes and the skin of my teeth
 How are you so good to me?
 It started with the walks around the block
 When you were mad to clear your mind
 And every now and then became more often
 Now you're sorry all the time
 But time can be a prison or a dream
 Depending on how you read the clock
 You say you're going to leave me
 And I hope someday the tick does more than talk
 How are you so good to me?
 How are you so good to me?
 I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth
 Why are you doing this to me?
 I started making plans
 A little poison in your drink to ease my nerves
 I hated every second I gave to you
 I know you don't deserve
 But I want you like a dying man
 Who gave up on his dreams when he was young
 Naming every hour that he wasted
 After things he could have done
 But I won't put up with it
 No I'll put it down
 I've learned to bury things I hate deep in the ground
 And I carry all the little trophies of your touch
 But today, I'm gonna beat you to the punch
 Why are you so good to me?
 How are you so good to me?
 I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth
 How are you so good to me?
 Now you'll always be good to me
 I stared at all the things we'd never have
 And the blood around my feet became my throne
 I ran my little fingers down his back
 Whispered "I'm the only love you'll never know"
