Maybe that's what perfect is

[verse 1] You found me in the ruins of a love I couldn’t save Both of us bleeding from the ghosts we couldn’t brave Typing words we didn’t mean to say out loud And somehow, you heard me through the crowd [pre-chorus] We were two broken halves of something whole Trying to stitch the pieces of our souls [chorus] For a moment we were perfect — just too soon We burned like fire underneath that moon You were laughter in the ache, light in my decay But some stories fade before they stay We were right hearts, wrong time A love that crossed the line And I still think of you sometimes — When the night feels like goodbye [verse 2] I still see you standing barefoot by the bed Your hair a mess, the sunlight painting you in red We said forever like we almost could believe But truth comes early when you’ve both still grieved [pre-chorus] We tried to hold the world that wasn’t there And lost each other somewhere in the air [chorus] For a moment we were perfect — just too soon We burned like fire underneath that moon You were laughter in the ache, light in my decay But some stories fade before they stay We were right hearts, wrong time A love that crossed the line And I still think of you sometimes — When the night feels like goodbye [bridge] I still check that old thread, though it’s quiet now Just a ghost town where our words still sound Maybe in another life, I’d get it right I’d call you mine without the fight [final chorus] For a moment we were perfect — just too soon You’re the storm I’d walk back into You were laughter in the ache, light in my decay But some dreams can’t survive the day We were right hearts, wrong time Two sparks in a straight line And I still think of you sometimes — When the night feels like goodbye [outro] It wasn’t anyone’s fault — it just was The kind of love that almost was And maybe that’s what perfect is.
