The Curse of Perfect Days

And you knew exactly when, you gave your heart and all of it

Without a thought of what you meant, you knew you couldn't live without this

So make your excuses now, that time has stolen all that you've earned

Make your excuses now, that time has stolen her

Time has stolen her

Tell me that I'm a fool

That I've exaggerated the situation

'Cause I've never been scared like this

Of losing more than I have to give

It's so unfair

I believed I could handle this

I swore I could fix everything

But I told myself lies all of these years

I told myself lies, all of these years

I told myself lies, all of these years

The fear that moves in and stays here

The words that replay in your ears

The grip that you held has weakened

Was the life that was yours forsaken

But I can't take my eyes off of you

And we were still so cool

Our bodies smooth and young (bodies smooth and young)

The dreams of getting older

Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)

The curse of perfect days

You forget just what you've made (forget just what you've made)

And you find yourself just praying

For something more than this life

Something more than this life

We wait for the doctors, to prescribe their medicines

And hold their bad news, as if later it will make more sense

But I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)

Just waiting for my strength to give (I thought I could handle this)

But this is the rock, I broke myself against (I swore I could fix anything)

We believed we'd have our way (And we did, and we did)

The memories we have made (Everyday was the best day of my life)

I could never repay what I owe (Or replace the book we wrote)

Even though I read the ending before the start

I would have never changed a single part

Tell me I'm a fool, tell me I'm just scared

Say I'm such a drama queen, it's not even fair

And let me see your eyes, the love that's right behind

And I'll promise you

That it will never die

It will never die

And we were still so cool

Our bodies smooth and young

The dreams of getting older

Were never supposed to come

The curse of perfect days

You forget just what you've made

And you find yourself just praying

For something more than this life

I want so much more than this life
