Perfect Lie

October seventh
Felt like dead winter
When she stormed out
Left me cold

She wanted something
I could never give her
A starring role
And a place in the world

It’s got to be perfect
Nothing less than picture perfect
It’s gotta be perfect
Nothing less than postcard perfect
‘Cause if it’s not
She’ll never ever try it
If it’s not
She’ll never ever buy it
If it’s not, she’ll say well
It should never exist
How could it ever exist?

She missed her calling
To be a politician
Selling lies
behind a toothy smile

Oh so charming
Sweet and oh so pleasant
She could keep
All the men beguiled

It’s got to be perfect
Nothing less than picture perfect
It’s gotta be perfect
Nothing less than postcard perfect
‘Cause if it’s not
She’ll never ever try it
If it’s not
She’ll never ever buy it
If it’s not, she’ll say well
It should never exist
How could it ever exist?

I gave her the world
All for the asking
A leading role
In love everlasting
But the fairy tale
Became a perfect lie

October seventh
Felt like dead winter
When she stormed out
Left me cold

She wanted something
I could never give her
A stake in the game
And a star on the door

It’s got to be perfect
Nothing less than picture perfect
It’s gotta be perfect
Nothing less than postcard perfect
‘Cause if it’s not
She’ll never ever try it
If it’s not
She’ll never ever buy it
If it’s not, she’ll say well
It should never exist
How could it ever exist?
