Emery - The Curse Of Perfect Days lyrics

And you knew exactly when, you gave your heart and all of it.
Without a thought of what you meant, you knew you couldn't live without
This.
So make your excuses now, that time has stolen all that you've earned.
Make your excuses now, that time has stolen her,
Time has stolen her.

Tell me that I'm a fool,
That I've exaggerated the situation.
'Cause I've never been scared like this,
Of losing more than I have to give.
It's so unfair.
I believed I could handle this,
I swore I could fix everything.
But I told myself lies all of these years.

I told myself lies, all of these years.
I told myself lies, all of these years.

The fear that moves in and stays here.
The words that replay in your ears.
The grip that you held has weakened.
Was the life that was yours forsaken?
But I can't take my eyes off of you.

And we were still so cool,
Our bodies smooth and young (bodies smooth and young)
The dreams of getting older,
Were never supposed to come. (were never supposed to come)
The curse of perfect days,
You forget just what you've made. (forget just what you've made)
And you find yourself just praying,
For something more than this life.
Something more than this life.

We wait for the doctors, to prescribe their medicines.
And hold their bad news, as if later it will make more sense.
But I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)
Just waiting for my strength to give. (I thought I could handle this)
But this is the rock, I broke myself against. (I swore I could fix
Anything)

We believed we'd have our way (And we did, and we did)
The memories we have made (Everyday was the best day of my life)
I could never repay what I owe (I'll replace what I owed)
Even though I read the ending before the start,
I would have never changed a single part.

Tell me I'm a fool, tell me I'm just scared,
Say I'm such a drama queen, it's not even fair.
Let me see your eyes, the love that's right behind,
And I'll promise you,
That it will never die.
It will never die.

And we were still so cool,
Our bodies smooth and young.
The dreams of getting older,
Were never supposed to come.
The curse of perfect days,
You forget just what you've made.
And you find yourself just praying,
For something more than this life.

I want so much more than this life.
