Perfect Story

Jack and Jill went up the hill, a bucket full of dreams When the morning came, they carved their names into the cherry tree But the hill was built on quicksand and it all came tumblin' down So they held onto the only thing they couldn't live without And here you are, the best of us With a bigger heart than the rest of us I'm so sorry I couldn't give you the perfect story A textbook happy ending Where nobody here gets hurt But don't you worry Your daddy and your mommy May be a little broken But not our love for you Oh, our love for you Can move the earth Ooh, ooh, ooh When London Bridge came falling down, I saw you through the flames And for a second I convinced myself it's better if I stay But what would you have thought of love if you had watched us burn Would you grow up and think a bridge on fire is what you deserve? And here you are, the best of us With a bigger heart than the rest of us I'm so sorry I couldn't give you the perfect story A textbook happy ending Where nobody here gets hurt But don't you worry Your daddy and your mommy May be a little broken But not our love for you Oh, our love for you Can move the earth Oh, the earth And I never had to wonder I don't regret what we've been through Don't have to look no further The answer's here, it's you
