I wanna tell you something
It's not a secret or anything
You're not alone in being alone
At the end of a perfect day
Now you can take a look around you
But just remember you're not bound to
Don't make a martyr of yourself
It's just the end of a perfect day
And it's never how it seems
The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
And in a written testimonial, I'd say
I never really knew you anyway
I wanna tell you something
Now don't go crazy or anything
Just wanna tell you that it's over
It's the end of a perfect day
You got a brain bandage
Do you want sign language?
Now you can love or you can hate it's just
The end of a perfect day
You can't get inside someone
So don't ask me if we're close
I really couldn't tell you
But I know you wouldn't really listen, anyway
It's a pain you got to bear
And it's always going to be there
But if you disappeared tomorrow
Then the world would carry on without you, anyway
Mind over matter it seems
Can stop you falling apart at the seams
It's a matter of honor with me
I should write out a hundred times
Put my hand on my heart and say that I don't want to lie
Don't want to lie
Don't want to lie
About the way it is
I wanna tell you something
Don't act surprised now or anything
Now you can revel in yourself 'cause
It's the end of a perfect day
No, it's not a pretty world out there
With people dying of their own despair
But in a written testimonial you'd say
You never really knew them, anyway
And I'll never satisfy you, I'll never even try to
I really couldn't tell, it just depends what you remember
At the end of a perfect day
