The perfect time The perfect home I still think of it I'd tell you "I'll have it all myself I just haven't yet" You said "It'll end up the same" How come it's so fucked then "It'll be okay" Why can't I see it that way Hold on How did that perfect thing end How did those few years Just slip right through my hands I want to feel that free again I'll hold what it felt like Everything must end I'd call to lie over the phone You knew I did I'd tell you all the reasons The world wanted me dead You said, "well that's how it goes" You were pushing me So my skin wasn't paper thin You just wanted me to grow up Somehow I did Somehow I did It's not for lack of trying Your love couldn't stop it The flatline was calling Nothing could stop me Hold on How did that perfect thing end How did those few years Just slip right through my hands I want to feel that free again I'll hold what it felt like Everything must end
