Two lonely hearts in a hotel room
Is where it all began
At the lake, drinking beers under the moon
Is where I took your hand
Whole weekends spent in bed
Thought it would never end
Until we crashed and burned
Do you believe things could've worked out better
If you hadn't thrown away what we had together
By now it's for the better
And I'm sorry if I hurt ya
But nobody's perfect
(Nobody's perfect)
But you didn't just cut the ties
You severed the nerves and left me out to die
You told me once, you told me twice
I'm about to lose my mind
I can feel you're miles away all the time
And you can't look me in the eyes
I didn't recognize
Your freedom had its price
And I'm the one to pay
I don't believe things could've worked out better
I'm glad you threw away what we had together
How many times were you with him
Before I grabbed my things
And did you cry because I left
Or 'cause you know you've made a mess
How many times were you with him
Before I grabbed my things
And did you cry because I left
Or 'cause you know you've made a mess
I couldn't look you in the eyes
I turned away while years went by
I couldn't stand to see you smile
When I'm not the reason why
By now it's for the better
And I'm sorry if I hurt ya
But nobody's perfect
(Nobody's perfect)
But you didn't just cut the ties
You severed the nerves and left me out to die
How many times were you with him
Before I grabbed my things
And did you cry because I left
Or 'cause you know you've made a mess
How many times were you with him
Before I grabbed my things
And did you cry because I left
Or 'cause you know you've made a mess
