I wrote "I love you" on the motel door
 Drove my self swerving blue
 Took the curves and I prayed for more
 Prayed I could have all of you
 And before, I came apart from you
 And before, I made you cry
 And before, I broke my heart in two
 When I was perfect in your eyes
 Perfect in your eyes
 Before I failed it was miserable
 Before I kicked like a mule
 Before I cried to be impregnable
 Before I laughed cause you would too
 I prayed to God in Sacre Coeur
 I promised him I'd live
 You shambled about with those, shiny things
 You redefined forgive
 And before, I came apart from you
 And before, I made you cry
 And before, I broke my heart in two
 When I was perfect in your eyes
 Perfect in your eyes
 Before I drank and drowned
 Before I let you down
 Before I told you lies
 If you told me to go
 Chasing tornadoes
 I'd saddle up and ride
 Perfect in your arms my love
 Present in your mind
 Welcome in your life my love
 When I was perfect in your eyes
 Perfect in your arms my love
 Present in your mind
 Welcome in your life my love
 When I was perfect in your eyes
 And before, I came apart from you
 And before, I made you cry
 And before, I broke my heart in two
 When I was perfect in your eyes
 Perfect in your eyes
 Perfect in your eyes
