This song, by Beth Crowley, is one depicting a hard breakup or relationship troubles, seemingly out of nowhere. “Perfect doesn’t last” brings about the notion that all good things come to an end. This could be brought about by the common negative thoughts after a breakup, and could be trying to dire...
[Verse 1]
I would have bet on us
We were untouchable, you and I
I couldn't get enough
It was a fairytale come to life
I had your heart
At least that's what I thought
[Chorus]
Now I'm second guessing every moment
Wondering where we went so wrong
I just keep asking
Would this have been worth it if I knew the ending all along
What started so perfect was over too fast
I should have seen the warning signs
'Cause perfect doesn't last
[Verse 2]
You got inside my head
Taking up every inch of space
'Til there was no room left
So many parts of me erased
You had my heart
And tossed it in the dirt
[Chorus]
Now I'm second guessing every moment
Wondering where we went so wrong
I just keep asking
Would this have been worth it if I knew the ending all along
What started so perfect was over too fast
I should have seen the warning signs
'Cause perfect doesn't last
Perfect doesn't last
With my rose coloured glasses on
I never saw it coming
Maybe it's good you're gone
But it still leaves me wanting you
To finally just tell me the truth
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm second guessing every moment
Wondering where we went so wrong
I just keep asking
Would this have been worth it if I knew the ending all along
What started so perfect was over too fast
I should have seen the warning signs
'Cause perfect doesn't last
Perfect doesn't last
I would have bet on us
We were untouchable, you and I
