They live in the neighborhood
When we see them both
They were all we want to be
They were all we want in a relationship
They were perfect
When we see them both
They were all we want to be
They were all we want in a relationship
They were perfect
We see them everyday hugging each other
In the warmth of their arms lies their heads
The shoulders they carry were for each other
They were perfect
In the warmth of their arms lies their heads
The shoulders they carry were for each other
They were perfect
Not that we the onlookers are jobless
No! We just love to see them together
All we wanted was in them
They were perfect
No! We just love to see them together
All we wanted was in them
They were perfect
Just because of them
We sometimes fight with our own partners
We feel our partners are not good enough
We wanted our partners be like these two
They were indeed perfect
We sometimes fight with our own partners
We feel our partners are not good enough
We wanted our partners be like these two
They were indeed perfect
They come out radiant and all smiles
They never have any course to fight
They were role models to us
They were perfect
They never have any course to fight
They were role models to us
They were perfect
Just One day,
I passed through their window
Just to see what how they do it
They were so perfect
I passed through their window
Just to see what how they do it
They were so perfect
I heard a loud bang,
Glasses breaking,
I ran as much as my legs could carry me
Probably thieves were around, I said to myself
They were perfect
Glasses breaking,
I ran as much as my legs could carry me
Probably thieves were around, I said to myself
They were perfect
I got to my house panting
Then these two came out dressed for a party
Oh! what a Lovey dovey couple
The definition of perfection
Then these two came out dressed for a party
Oh! what a Lovey dovey couple
The definition of perfection
Then I called my partner,
let's go for a party tonight, I said
But he wouldn't
I got angry and hung up on him
Why can't he just be like these two, I murmured
let's go for a party tonight, I said
But he wouldn't
I got angry and hung up on him
Why can't he just be like these two, I murmured
Stepping out of my house one day,
I saw one of them this time around
She had a bruise on her face
I said hello to her
As I took my leave,
I overheard her talking to someone on phone saying she hit her face on the wall
So sad! I said to myself
I saw one of them this time around
She had a bruise on her face

As I took my leave,

So sad! I said to myself
Admiring the perfect two was so easy
Seeing them put smiles on our faces
Infact, We left partners who can't meet up the races
Seeing them put smiles on our faces
Infact, We left partners who can't meet up the races
As I went to dump the refuse one evening
I heard two voices screaming
As I drew nearer to their place
The voices became clearer
These two were not what we thought they were? i asked myself
Then I listened to their harsh conversations
Heard the hitting!
I heard two voices screaming
As I drew nearer to their place
The voices became clearer
These two were not what we thought they were? i asked myself
Then I listened to their harsh conversations
Heard the hitting!
I immediately remembered the bruises I saw on her face the last time
So she didn't hit herself on the wall afterall
She was playing along all these while
So she didn't hit herself on the wall afterall
She was playing along all these while
So perfect, we thought they were
The woman was suffering from domestic violence
They were not perfect after all
They were just pretending to us all along
They were only good and looked happy when they came out
They were not even perfect
They were not perfect after all
They were just pretending to us all along
They were only good and looked happy when they came out
They were not even perfect
They were PICTURE PERFECT
Oh! I burst into tears
Not because of the couple
But because of the decisions we've made by looking at their lifestyle
We've ruined our own relationships and friendships
We just wanted to be like the perfect Couple
Not because of the couple
But because of the decisions we've made by looking at their lifestyle
We've ruined our own relationships and friendships
We just wanted to be like the perfect Couple
Little did we know that the perfection we see is just for the CAMERA (OUR EYES) it wasn't permanent. It didn't even exist in their home.
*Never compare yourself
Don't make decisions based on what you see in Others
Don't compare your relationship with another
You never even know what that person you want to be like is going through
Love yourself and be contented with what you have
Trust God for all your needs!
