I'm Really Not That Jealous, Really

You're so perfect

Well, almost

You hurt me again tonight

It hurts so much it blurs my sight

With tears that sting my face as they fall

All my life I've never felt so small

You're so perfect

Well, almost

You hurt me again today

Not badly enough for permanent pain

But, oh how I hate it when we don't speak

Because of my secrets that are so hard to keep

We're perfect together

Well, almost

I opened up my mouth

And I didn't want to lie about

A past I don't want to disguise

I thought it would be okay if I stopped trying to hide

I wonder if you know how it makes me feel

When you don't want the past 20 years to be real

When you get upset over things I can't change

Even though my heart whispers only your name

"I don't know how you put up with it"

"You'll put up with a lot if you love someone"
