Perfect Prize Lyrics

Perfect Prize

I don't understand why you'd be leaving me
I stayed because we were best friends
Things changed so fast I don't believe it's true
It's me that should be leaving you
I don't understand these things are changing me
I have my heart to defend
It's feels strange on the outside,
When you look to the inside
Well I don't understand
These things all look the same
I can't be your man if
I can't be your best friend
I seem to forget
I should be leaving you
For all of your deceitful lies
And only if you knew that I believed in you,
I could have been your perfect prize
It feels strange on the out side
When you look to the inside
Well I don't understand
These things all look the same
I can't be your man if
I can't be your best friend
I've loved and let go
It's easy to see that now
I've been blessed by your caress.
It feels strange on the out side
When you look to the inside
Well I don't understand
These things all look the same
I can't be your man if
I can't be your best friend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
