The darkest days have come and gone
Still you shine for me
With a fragile frame I carry on
'Cause with you I am free
You guard my teflon heart
'Cause then they take you apart

[Chorus:]
Deconstructing the pieces
Still lobbing the darts
While you're clogging the bleeding
And now you're starting to sway
And they won't go away
Until you swear you're perfecting the art
Of being perfect from now on
Perfect from now on

I learn the stance to win the fight
To balance what I do
I cling to you with all my might
You take the punches too
The round's about to start
And then they take you apart

[Chorus (x2)]
