One Percent

Mama says you were never good enough for me
 But even she knows that's a lie
 And daddy says, just to put you into a melody
 Use it in the next song I write
 My best friend tries to make me laugh
 It works for a second, but that smile never lasts
 So, tell me how someone's supposed to forget
 Something that was 99 percent perfect
 Looking at those odds, you'd think we could make it work
 But somehow all we saw was hurt
 For the love of God, stop telling me I should move on
 We were made to be, just the timing was wrong
 I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
 Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
 What I know we have, or when we should
 Trust me, if I could, I would
 If I could
 I'd have moved on by now
 And they all say I haven't tried
 But it's not that easy
 'Cause we've gone round and round and round
 But we end up here every time
 So, tell me how someone's supposed to forget
 Something that was 99 percent perfect
 Looking at those odds, you'd think we could make it work
 But somehow all we saw was hurt
 For the love of God, stop telling me I should move on
 We were made to be, just the timing was wrong
 I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
 Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
 But what I know we have, or when we should
 Trust me, if I could, I would
 I'd do anything to make 'em see
 That you're the one percent I need
 So, tell me how someone's supposed to forget
 Something that was 99 percent perfect
 Looking at those odds, you'd think we could make it work
 But somehow all we saw was hurt
 For the love of God, stop telling me I should move on
 We were made to be, just the timing was wrong
 I'll wait forever if that's what it takes
 Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake
 What I know we have, or when we should
 Trust me, if I could, I would
