You were so perfect (In my mind)
But you're so far from reality
Turning me into something I'm not
Something I can never be
But reality is telling me what's real and what's not
If you can't see me for who I am
Then just go away if you can

I can't be anything but myself
If you can't see (I'm fine)
If you can't ever see that
I am the way I am
I will stay this way
If you can't ever see that
Then just go away
And let me be myself

You were so perfect (In my mind)
Now I can't tell if you're dead or alive
I don't have anything to give for
So I'm going to just walk away
Give me something to fight for
Or just go away if you can

I can't be anything but myself
If you can't see (I'm fine)
If you can't ever see that
Then just go away
And let me be myself

There's no angel (That I can find)
Nothing turns to roses
With your gentle hand
Everything burns to ashes
Put the ashes upon your image
Burnt in the back of my mind
I'm doing everything I can
To put your picture away in the sand
