I could have just pretended
And nothing would have changed
But I wanted to imagine
A future bright and strange
It's really been a long time
The summer's turned to fall
I wish I could remember
The glory of it all
But I don't remember
I don't recall
But I don't remember
Anything at all
The past is perfect
It was worth it
I deserved it
The past is perfect
I can't hurt it
Anymore
I took it all in stride
Although I never did it right
The past is perfect
I deserved it
Don't you know
The future's looking brighter
But I can't hear its call
I wish I could remember
The storm before the calm
But I don't remember
But I don't remember
I don't recall
But I don't remember
I don't remember
Anything at all
The past is perfect
It was worth it
I deserved it
The past is perfect
I can't hurt it
Anymore
I took it all in stride
Although I never did it right
The past is perfect
I deserved it
Don't you know
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
The past is perfect
I deserved it
Don't you know
The past is perfect
It was worth it
I deserved it
The past is perfect
I can't hurt it
Anymore
I took it all in stride
Although I never did it right
Oh no
The past is perfect
I deserved it
Don't you know
