That night she called me
on the phone again
Almost in tears and
she was home again
I couldn't see her bruises
but I felt the pain

It took a long time to get it over with
Not something easy to get even with
But never in her life would it happen again

You can tell just what I feel inside
Just by looking into my eyes
You seem to know me
better than I know myself

It's hard to find out that the reason why
You feel so hurt inside, about to cry
Is a wrong decision you made for yourself

Realize now, nothing's perfect
Nothing's perfect in this world
Realize now, nothing's perfect
No religion, no romance
Not even love but you might try it

You don't have to be afraid at all
I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Your mentor for the rainy days

Always waiting for the
moment when
The clouds will move
across the sun again
I'm never gonna be with you too late

Realize now, nothing's perfect
Nothing's perfect in this world
Realize now, nothing's perfect
No religion, no romance
Not even love but you might try it
