A Not So Perfect Prom Night

take the sunset and paint it with a darker shade of red
or maybe something elegant
to match the color of your blouse
so douse yourself in cheap perfume
and lets sit alone in your favorite room
with the lights turned down low
i know, i know,

things arent as perfect as they seem
what seems like artwork when its over
was just a drunken masterpeice
a desperate attempt at something beautiful

well i had this down to a science baby
but i failed at chemistry
so lie to me, lie to me
and tell me this was perfect..
