Start out as something beautiful
Hold out for something unreal
But don′t hold your breathBecause I'm all that′s left
Stay home, I've gone
So you walk away
Well I was once willing to admit you're perfect
And now the words they stutter off my lips
Well I was once willing to admit
You were perfect, perfect
And all my dreams
Hold out on my needs
Hold out, I′m all in
I can′t bet, I can't win
Save it all for the end
Hey now, let′s not pretend you didn't want to go down
Hey and now let′s all pretend
Save it all, pretend you didn't want to go down
Hey now, let′s all pretend
Well I was once willing to admit you're perfect
And now the words they stutter off my lips
Well I was once willing to admit
You were perfect, perfect
