Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
My girlfriend, she's amazing, she's the light of my day,
But sometimes, it feels like we’re in a complex ballet.
Her past is a shadow, it's shaped who she is,
And I tell myself, it's all worth it for a love like this.
[Pre-Chorus]
She gets upset a lot, it's like walking on a wire,
One wrong step, and her heart's on fire.
But I know deep down, it's not her intent,
She's just coping with the battles that life has sent.
[Chorus]
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect,
Every smile, every laugh, makes the effort worth it.
I blame myself when she’s in pain,
Think I didn’t do enough again.
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect.
[Verse 2]
She’s been through so much, her heart bears the scars,
And I see in her eyes, the stories of wars.
She needs my patience, my constant support,
But sometimes I fear, I fall short.
[Pre-Chorus]
If she cries, it’s my fault, did I miss a cue?
Could I have done more, to help her through?
Her anger’s a storm, I must weather with grace,
But it’s hard when I feel I’m the one to replace.
[Chorus]
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect,
Every smile, every laugh, makes the effort worth it.
I blame myself when she’s in pain,
Think I didn’t do enough again.
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect.
[Bridge]
I tread so lightly, my steps rehearsed,
To avoid the pain, the sudden outbursts.
I hold her close, try to mend her soul,
But in doing so, I lose control.
[Chorus]
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect,
Every smile, every laugh, makes the effort worth it.
I blame myself when she’s in pain,
Think I didn’t do enough again.
As long as I don’t upset her, everything’s perfect.
[Outro]
My girlfriend, she’s amazing, she’s the light of my day,
And I'll keep on trying, in this complex ballet.
I know it's not easy, but I love her still,
For her happiness, I always will.
