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 ninety-nine 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, and what we should
Trust me, if I could, I would
If I could, I'd have moved on by now
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 ninety-nine 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, and what 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 ninety-nine 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, and what we should
Trust me, if I could, I would
