Well you got to be careful and might need to be
Your heart was ready and stolen by thieves
Then comes the searching that takes you away
One time too many but those are the breaks
Nobody's perfect haven't you heard that
So much to learn yet so much to change
And you're looking for fate to come to the table
And you're playing it safe till it's meant to be
Well I thought I was ready for some kind of move
So many things that I wanted to prove
You heard your calling and went out to see
Why some throw away what some others still need
Nobody's perfect haven't I heard that
So much to learn yet so much to change
Looking for fate to come to the table
Playing it safe knowing that
Nobody's perfect haven't you heard that
So much to learn yet so much to change
And we looked for fate coming up to the table
And we played it safe cause it's meant to be
