Perfect Couple

I really thought you had it all
I thought you had it made
The perfect couple
Something to be compared to
Something to aspire to

I thought that you were a package
Two for the price of one
Each a part of the other
Together making a whole
Always seen as one

So where did it begin to go wrong
When did it stop being right
Was it little by little
Or did you wake up one day
knowing that it was over

I used to be so jealous
Of what you seemed to have
If only you could bottle it
You would have made a fortune
Everybody said so
