I would go back to december

But you didn't see me cry

I saw your smile a few times

But not often enough to see sparks fly

August did slip away like a bottle of wine

Cause I'm not Betty and you're not James

You're more of mr. perfectly fine

You are not a waiting room

I'm not the broken love song that feeds your misery

You probably don't know the smell of my perfume

I'm not an uptown girl and you're not a backstreet guy

I thought we could work

But I don't know why

I'd love the be as close as the holy ghost is

But I don't know if you'd let me

And also don't have a bed of roses

I know it's not about angels

But it's about us

A girl who fell in love with a boy

One that makes her so nervous

You never drew stars around my scars

That's why I'm bleeding

I fell in love with your smile

And thought it would help me healing

You'll never call me baby or kid

But that's okay with me

I'll just tolerate it

I'd be a good wife 

But we won't be together

At least not in this life

Just give me this chance to hold you close

And if it won't work

I will learn to let you go.
