Close to worthy
I was perfect
Close to perfect at least
As close as I can be
Considerate, sweet, caring
Open, honest, attentive
Witty, fun, sharing
Everything a guy could want or need
I wanted to be more than your person
A concept, an ideal, a dream
Little things I prepared
You didn't notice
My smiles and glances were pre-planned
You didn't notice
The make-up, with the dress, with your necklace
You didn't notice
I didn't mind
As long as I was perfect
You would have to stay
So it would all be perfect
because then I am worthy
Then it'll be worth it
and it'll be perfect
I'll won't feel worthless
As long as I had you
I was perfect
Close to perfect at least
As close as I can be
Considerate, sweet, caring
Open, honest, attentive
Witty, fun, sharing
Everything a guy could want or need
I wanted to be more than your person
A concept, an ideal, a dream
Little things I prepared
You didn't notice
My smiles and glances were pre-planned
You didn't notice
The make-up, with the dress, with your necklace
You didn't notice
I didn't mind
As long as I was perfect
You would have to stay
So it would all be perfect
because then I am worthy
Then it'll be worth it
and it'll be perfect
I'll won't feel worthless
As long as I had you
I was perfect

Fuck it, honey, just fuck it. This was heartbreaking.
You know the problem was him, right? Some men can’t appreciate perfect because they are so damn broken inside. I’m sure you were amazing.
Wait till you get to the anger stage of grief… it’s a whole new breakup album
Hang in there.
