Darren Hayes - Perfect
From album "Secret Codes and Battleships"
AmYour love is a sonnet written on an Fempty shore
AmSealed into a bottle and lost at Fsea
AmYour love is an army trying to aFpologize
AmYour love is a soldier tired of Fwar
[PRE-CHORUS]
And all it Ccould have been is like a symbol in the Fsand
And all our Cwasted love is like a language I don't underFstand
[CHORUS]
But Amour love was perfect
FPieces of a puzzle lying on the floor
BeAmginning and ending
FA story that continues never, evermore
AmYour love is a whisper trying to beFcome a roar
AmYour love is a child crying out for Fmore
[PRE-CHORUS]
And all it Ccould have been is like a symbol in the Fsand
And all our Cwasted love is like a language I don't underFstand
[CHORUS]
But Amour love was perfect
FPieces of a puzzle lying on the floor
BeAmginning and ending
FA story that continues never, evermore
FCause I felt it
FIt cut deep
It left a sGcar in my memory
FBut your lovGe was burned into me
Am(You've been hiding away)
F(You've been hiding away)
[PRE-CHORUS]
And all it Ccould have been is like a symbol in the Fsand
And all our Cwasted love is like a language I don't underFstand
[CHORUS]
But Amour love was perfect
FPieces of a puzzle lying on the floor
BeAmginning and ending
FA story that continues never, evermore
But Amour love was perfect
FPieces of a puzzle lying on the floor
BeAmginning and ending
FA story that continues never, evermore
(Oh...)
AmOur love...
