(Crowe/Doyle)
I wrote I love you on a motel door
Drove myself swerving blue
Hit the curves and I prayed for more
Prayed I could have all of you
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
Before I failed and was miserable
Before I kicked like a mule
Before I cried to be impregnable
Before I laughed 'cause you would too
I prayed to God in Sacre Coeur
I promised him I'd live
You shambled about with those shiny things
You redefined forgive
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
Bridge:
Before I drank and drowned
Before I let you down
Before I told you lies
If you told me to go
Chasing tornados
I'd saddle up and ride
Perfect in your arms my love
Present in your mind
Welcome in your life my love
When I was perfect in your eyes
When I was perfect in your eyes
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
I wrote I love you on a motel door
Drove myself swerving blue
Hit the curves and I prayed for more
Prayed I could have all of you
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
Before I failed and was miserable
Before I kicked like a mule
Before I cried to be impregnable
Before I laughed 'cause you would too
I prayed to God in Sacre Coeur
I promised him I'd live
You shambled about with those shiny things
You redefined forgive
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
Bridge:
Before I drank and drowned
Before I let you down
Before I told you lies
If you told me to go
Chasing tornados
I'd saddle up and ride
Perfect in your arms my love
Present in your mind
Welcome in your life my love
When I was perfect in your eyes
When I was perfect in your eyes
Chorus:
and before
I came apart from you
and before
I made you cry
and before
I broke my heart in two
When I was perfect in your eyes
Perfect in your eyes
