he perfect you
james,
i'm not the type of girl who can come out and say it.
i'm not the one who can treat you like my doll.
when it comes to loving you,
i don't want you to hurt at all.
but i guess that's not the way to get your attention, because you ignored me and went after her.
i said she wasn't the one,
and you didn't believe in me.
i knew her plan, i knew you couldn't be her man.
when i saw the change in you that she brought about,
it made me want to cry and run out.
now i see that you have learned
and that you were hurt.
that makes me want to curl up beside you
and hold you tight.
i want to be the one to whom you say goodnight,
the one who fills your mind, and your dreams.
i want to be the one whom you talk about every day,
and the one who you can't live without.
the one who boosts you up when you are down.
i just want to learn everything about you
so you can be happy,
and tell you all about me,
and have you love me.
these things fill my heart and soul,
and are worth mre than a prize of gold.
i need somebody who will be there by my side
through all the times,
and someone who can love me for me.
each night i go to sleep,
dreaming of you by my side,
dreaming that perfect dream of you and me.
but will this ever come true?
who knows,
because i'm too shy to tell you how i feel.
each day i grow closer to what i want to be,
but i still have a long long way to go.
so until i get the courage to talk to you,
i'll just have to live those dreams that aren't true.
but i'm happy dreaming of you
because as long as i can control what you think,
say,
and do,
you can remain the perfect you.
