"don't ruin a perfect thing" could mean he's telling the girl over and over that she's fine the way she is, she's perfect, stop hurting herself because she's beautiful already ("I swear to god I did what I could, I practically begged you, everything was fine.") "Everything was fine" could refer (again) to him trying to tell her she's beautiful as she is. General Commentto me, I think this song is about not only a girl vic was romantically involved with but also about the girl having an eating disorder. I'm losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing, a perfect thing. (Why don't we just let this one take care of itself?) Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste, If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me? You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.Īnd I break my glasses as I fall in the street! You barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you. I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom, The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head. I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine. We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways. Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky, I like it better when you can't keep warm.ĭon't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing. One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.ĭon't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark. I hope you like the stars I stole for you, It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
