Lyrics

[Verse 1] My heart is like an old apartment An empty suitcase in the dark Some people pack their things, some people see what morning brings But in the end they depart [Pre-Chorus] I try to remember the better times Beneath the Arizona stars And when the morning came, it painted all the cliffs with flame But those days seem so far [Chorus] I, I try But striving for perfection is a waste of time I apologize But all these imperfections are mine [Verse 2] I think of arguments as blinded truths You only see them in a certain light You stand on solid ground, but love and grace could not be found So what good comes from the fight? [Chorus] I, I try But striving for perfection is a waste of time I apologize But all these imperfections are mine [Verse 3] I think that life is like a jack pine We cycle through the growth and fire When someone burns us down, we rise up through unlikely ground And this time we grow even higher [Chorus] I, I try But striving for perfection is a waste of time I apologize But it wasn't all for nothing in the scheme of life I, I try But striving for perfection is a waste of time I apologize But all these imperfections are mine [Outro] I try to remember the better times I try to remember I try to remember the better times I try to remember the better times
