Perfection Interrupted

I expect we have all experienced a time when we thought everything was great in our ‘big’ relationship only to be told… “nope!” This tune is that story but with the twist that, while at the moment, the news is devastating… in fact, everything is going to be just fine for both of you and it takes the person doing the news breaking to tell you that. So, the song is a sad story with an upbeat feel. How confusing!

Perfection Interrupted

E E A D E A

A D E A
I had it going really well or so I thought
A D E A
I was cruising along just fine, acting right ... or not
I had it all in hand, giving it my best shot
I thought things were perfect, she said their not

I said, “You’re amazing but, why so sad?
This is frustrating; we’re so good but so bad.”
Then she said to me with sadness in her eyes,
"You should know that love comes to he who tries"

Perfection Interrupted. So, I said, “Please,
Hold me tight tonight. I will feed her needs"
She turned away, “I think not, my friend
You don’t understand; Love has come to an end”

F7 G
Suddenly, it’s all gone
F G
Dismantled to my core
F G7
Perfection interrupted.
C
It seems we are no more?

Then she said…

“It doesn’t matter that you are not mine
If I’ll be happier without you
Without me, you too will be fine
In time, you will come to understand this too

Perfection is never something you can hold
Perfection interrupted is how life unfolds.”
