Baby you put perfect love
High up on a pedestal
And when I stand beside it
I look broken down and crude
You tell me time and time again
How loving causes so much pain
But you just suffer patiently
So proud and resolute
Chorus:
You're a prisoner behind an open door
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
There's no need to carry round
That cross no more
There's a world outside
And there's an open door
I guess I just never dreamed
That love would ever come pristine
But I don't mind the bumpy roads
And I don't mind the flaws
But you don't have to sacrifice
Or put your happiness on ice
I don't want you laying down
And dying for the cause
Chorus
Never said I was a saint
Nothing pure I couldn't taint
But I can do without the tears
And I can live with my mistakes
