  • Baby, you can believe me when I say I tried my best
    But there's no other way
    You deserve the world, I couldn't give you less

    But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect
    And though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye

    I know I let you down
    It wasn't that your love wasn't good enough
    Couldn't stick around
    It's only in myself that I didn't trust
    I had good intentions
    I had good intentions

    And it's a shame
    Oh, ironic that I went and put you through
    I take the blame
    'Cause the truth, there's really nothing you could do

    But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect
    And though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye

    I know I let you down
    It wasn't that your love wasn't good enough
    Couldn't stick around
    It's only in myself that I didn't trust
    I had good intentions
    I had good intentions
    I had good intentions
    I

    But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect
    And though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye
    But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect
    And though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye Writer/s: GUY WILLIAM LAWRENCE, HOWARD JOHN LAWRENCE, JAMES JOHN NAPIER, MIGUEL JONTEL PIMENTEL
