One Percent

Momma says you were never good enough for me

But even she knows that's a lie

And Daddy says just to put you into a melody

Use it in the next song I write

My best friend tries to make me laugh

It works for a second but that smile never lasts

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget

Something that was ninety-nine percent perfect

Looking at those odds you think we could make it work

But somehow all we saw was hurt

For love of God stop telling me I should move on

We were made to be just the timing was wrong

I'll wait forever if that's what it takes

Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake

What I know we have, well what we should

Trust me, if I could I would

If I could I'd have moved on by now

And they all say I haven't tried

But it's not that easy 'cause we've gone round and round and round

But we end up here every time

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget

Something that was ninety-nine percent perfect

Looking at those odds you think we could make it work

But somehow all we saw was hurt

For love of God stop telling me I should move on

We were made to be just the timing was wrong

I'll wait forever if that's what it takes

Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake

What I know we have, well what we should

Trust me, if I could I would

I'd do anything to make them see

That you're the one percent I need

So tell me how someone's suppose to forget

Something that was ninety-nine percent perfect

Looking at those odds you think we could make it work

But somehow all we saw was hurt

For love of God stop telling me I should move on

We were made to be just the timing was wrong

I'll wait forever if that's what it takes

Not doing anyone a favor by trying to fake

What I know we have, well what we should

Trust me, if I could I would
