I Wanted to be Perfect

I wanted to be right for you,
I wanted to be perfect for you,
I wanted to be yours, only yours.

I messed up— I’m sorry
Doesn’t cut it, I tried,
I couldn’t, I wronged you.

The anger, the disappointment
You know, I know, we know
Where I went wrong.

I knew it was immoral,
But I felt so much pain,
Hours I talked about you.

But even in the end,
It wasn’t about you, it
Was about me, my loneliness.

I still want to be yours,
I’m not perfect, but I’ll try,
I’ll try, to be right for you.
