[Verse 1]
I picked you flowers on your birthday
It's not like me at all
I walked in, you're standing with a bouquet
It could've been a wedding shawl
So I wait until your fling blows over, over
Just to find somebody new
Then you come and lay your head on my shoulder, shoulder
Every single time that you're blue
It's nothing new

[Chorus]
When I'm stronger, stay longer
She came out, was a goner
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time
It's all in your mind, yeah, yeah
It's not midnight (Not midnight), it's not sunset (Not sunset)
It's someday that hasn't come yet
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time

[Verse 2]
I never care 'bout reputations
You brought my ego back
Hung out for hours by my doorway
Like there was some strings attached
When I finally said I was committed, 'itted
Been too long for you to recognize
Ooh, you couldn't even come to visit, visit
Wonder if we'll ever realize, that
[Chorus]
When I'm stronger, stay longer
She came out, was a goner
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time
It's all in your mind, yeah, yeah
It's not midnight (Not midnight), it's not sunset (Not sunset)
It's someday that hasn't come yet
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time

[Bridge]
A jealous game I played with you
The day we met, we broke the rules
I claimed you, girl, a game for fools
You played me out, I had to choose
Dragged you through the mud, I guess
You broke my heart, it must make sense
You sensed it, girl, you had to know
Where does it end? I'll never know

[Chorus]
When I'm stronger, you stayed longer
She came out, was a goner
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time
It's all in your mind, yeah, yeah
It's not midnight (Not midnight), it's not sunset (Not sunset)
It's someday that hasn't come yet
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time
[Outro]
Yeah, it's all in your mind now
It's not midnight, it's not sunset
There's no perfect, there's no perfect time
(It's not midnight, it's not sunset)
