When I first met you
I saw this perfect boy
And not in a way that
Means perfect for me
But in a way that said
"I can do no wrong"

I thought we'd have
Nothing in common
Because I like hard rock music
And violent/inappropriate shows
And don't always tell the truth
And you're perfect

But then at dinner one night with your mom
You weren't home
I saw the Axe in the bathroom
And the Kurt Cobain poster on your wall
And the 'note from school' on the fridge
And your mom blabbed that you watch Dexter
And I realised..

You're not perfect
And you're definitely
Not what I expected
