Give me reasons, reasons why I should leave
the hardest thing's forgetting, what you don't wanna believe
seem's like a someone's always crying
crying out to a somebody
you know I'd be lying
if I told you, it wasn't what i need

you're the worst kind of perfect
perfect for someone like me
you're the worst kind of perfect
(you) fit perfectly, but not with me not quite yet

even when I'm dreaming,
I'm lucid but your signal comes through
when I could choose anything
don't you know, I still choose you
Go ahead and call me crazy
crazy cause im crazy 'bout you
crazy cause i'm leaving
crazy cause, i'm staying with you

you're the worst kind of perfect
perfect for someone like me
you're the worst kind of perfect
(you) fit perfectly, but not with me not quite
not quite yet

chorus
not with me not quite yet
