Nobody gets it

Only a moment to paint a perfect picture
Always an image of yourself
Monochromatic just like your crazy poems
I swallow them you spit them out
Oh you turned away
The only logic to this black arrangement
Misrepresented, your hands they work too fast
I'm counting doorways leading out

I wanted perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody gets it
I needed perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody ever fits

This isn't progress - crashing computer screens
That's all that's left of you and me
I gave you secrets - made you my confidante
That's all you'll ever get from me
Oh I loathe your taste

I wanted perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody gets it
I needed perfect, nobody's perfect, baby, nobody ever fits
