Second Of Perfect

I hold fairytales and bubbles in my hands
Lifted you up here to preserve you
But after a second, under my care
The bubble bursts like I never was there

Why should I try to save you?
When you're going to burst on me
Why should I try to hold you?
Is that second of perfect worth it?

I hold jewels in my hands
Lifted you up here from the mud
But after a second, under my care
The jewels fade and there's nothing there
Not even a reflection of the sun

Why should I try to save you?
When you're going to fade on me
Why should I try to lift you?
Is that second of perfect worth it?

Why should I try to find my way to you,
preserving you?
Why should I make the effort?
Why should you?

The beauty will fade
The glitter will soon be gone
And all I'll have is to wait for the dawn
The magic will fade
The sparkles will soon be gone
And all I'll have is to wait for the sun
The sun

Why should I try to save you?
When you're going to burst on me
Why should I try to preserve you?
When you're going to let me down

Is that second of perfect worth it?
Is that second of perfect worth it?
Is that second of perfect... worth it?

  2. It makes me bit sad too... I wrote it in the bathtub, hahaha xD Started out as just singing something about lifting the bubbles up, but they couldn't seem to last, they'd always burst once I held them in my hands, their fragile beauty only lasting for a short while :)

    Then I spun that around and turned it into some kind of metaphor or so. But the song still, originally, is about bathtub bubbles. ^^ ;D
