I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me
“Slipped,” The National
i do not fall in love with perfect
i did not fall in love to find your faults and fix you
i could make quite a list
of all the ways you drove me mad again and again
but if we had negotiated on even one
you would have no longer been the you i love madly
and my disingenuous professions of love
would have been manipulations seeking someone else
i do not fall in love with perfect
i did not fall in love to find your faults and fix you
and so i must now face the ugliest truth
wanting as i do to change your mind about me
realizing as i do the you not wanting me
is the only you i have ever loved and always will
