He wanted someone that's perfect Well ok, but can you tell me who is? He set the bar Just above the stars A rocket couldn't reach it But I still kept on reaching He watched me at least a thousand times If he loved me, he'd stop me, but no I know I'm not perfect But at the end of the day, who is? He wanted someone that's perfect Well ok, but can you tell me who is? I saw my future in his eyes So wrong, so wrong Guess I was destined for more in my life 'Cause he didn't break me down, he made me strong I know I'm not perfect But at the end of the day, who is?

There'll be lies, there'll be tears A jury of your peers With a pitiful look of experience Hand down the judgement And if I done wrong And loved you too long Stand up and just testify How can you deny? Objection overruled I wait for my reprieve With the trust of the deceived The wisdom of the fool It's his sorrowful face Too heavy for his head 'Cos he bowed it as something come over him It was the judgement And he falls to his knees Have mercy on me He clings to the hem of her gown She says: "Just take him down" Just take him down Just take him down
