You were just like a saint in my eyes
You showered me in gold
You had superman strength in my mind
And that's the reason why
I've never felt so alone

You slipped through my hands
Like holding quicksand
And I built a foundation on it
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
I hope and I prayed
Loved and I hated
And built a foundation it
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
No, perfect doesn't really exist

I put you up on a pedestal
So high up and I watched you fall
Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger

Did you pull the wool over my eyes?
Did you think that I wouldn't know?
Is there even a place in your heart
To notice that you've gone to far?
Now you can't fix what you broke
You won't

You slipped through my hands
Like holding quicksand
And I built a foundation on it
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
I hope and I prayed
Loved and I hated
And built a foundation it
I guess perfect doesn't really exist
No, perfect doesn't really exist

I put you up on a pedestal
So high up and I watched you fall
Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger

Into a million pieces
I thought you were stronger
I thought you were stronger
