Cover art for Perfect Girl lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

This will someday be a Sarah Mclachlan classic. I think this is about a woman struggling to live up to her lover's expectations, which seem to lofty for her to reach. "Your vision of romance is cruel All along I played the fool." She rebukes her partner's unreasonable expectations, but what makes this song so wonderful for me is that, at the same time, she loves him anyway; she just wants him to "come around." At the beginning of the song, she stresses what should be important in a relationship: faith and strength. Definately a song to live by.
