Dont matter how much I cry andIt dont matter how much we try to leave each otheraloneIt dont last for longCause we got something they wantAnd Im sick when youre goneWaitin up til you get homeAnd I aint gon sleep til I see yo faceEven though Im mad, Imma fix yo plateAint no otha man that could take yo placeBelieve meI aint goin no whereYou aint gotta worryAint nobody perfectBut what we got worth it(x2)Dont matter if we hit hard timesCause I gotchya back and you got mineAnd when the rain comes, Imma be the main oneHoldin you down through the stormIt wont last for longI tell you Imma leave but I dontAnd Im sick when youre goneAnd I be waitin up til you get homeAnd I aint gon sleep til I see yo face

Even though Im mad, Imma fix yo plateAint no otha man that could take yo placeBelieve meIt aint goin no whereYou aint gotta worryAint nobody perfectBut what we got is worth it(x2)

But these scars are like littlereminders that you got through it and not to look back

You never should have loved meYou never should have touched meYou never should haveNever should have told me you loved me and you wouldnever leave me.Cause everything that you would doIt made me fall in love with youUntil your love and your man my mistakeNow I cant take you back if I want it too

(Ohh ohh ohh ohh...)

Balled up, laying in my bedFortracing through my headHow did we start our love end up hereYou said you loved me and I believed youSeems like you dont even mean what you see.

Rivers of tear drops,This short pains in my heartThis was the way that you lovedYou never should have loved me

14. Perfect So FarIm breathing you like my air nowGot me floatin like Im outer spaceAnd I cant lose with you here nowTheres no one that can dare take your place

Cuz your worth every argumentEvery battle proves its scarSo far from perfect

But youve been perfect so farStill not speakingAnd youre still over thereOn your side of the bedStill disagreeingAnd the tension that we shareIt hurts beyond compare

But the crazy thing about loveIs how far it goes, how deep it runs

And Im still here just becauseI refuse to let this keep me from, baby

Im breathing you like my air nowGot me floatin like Im outer spaceAnd I cant lose with you here nowTheres no one that can dare take your place

Cuz your worth every argumentEvery battle proves its scarSo far from perfectBut youve been perfect so far

Still my baby

And I know where I belongIs right inside your armsAint no other place for meGot me right where you want meYou aint perfect but youre so perfect for me

But the crazy thing about loveIs how far it goes, how deep it runsAnd Im still here just becauseI refuse to let this keep me from, baby

Im breathing you like my air nowGot me floatin like Im outer spaceAnd I cant lose with you here now

Theres no one that can dare take your place

Cuz your worth every argumentEvery battle proves its scarSo far from perfectBut youve been perfect so far

We may fight a little bit, babySometimes, we wont speak for daysAnd thats fine, cuz I know youll be right back by myside

Still got that love that I craveAnd that lets me know were okay
