"In A Perfect World" lyrics
If I ever wanted to cry on the spot
I could very easily with just one thought
The day that you'll be leaving me is on my mind
And I don't wanna think about it all the time
How will I live when you are gone?
You're already drifting away
Life is not long enough
I hope you stay with me for quite a while
I don't wanna be in a world without your smile
Who knew life could be torture?
You're only getting older
In a perfect world
For forever I could hold ya
I wish there was no evil
No sickness or disease, oh
In a perfect world
Nothing could take you away from me, oh
"Life is unfair" is not a good reason
It's like they don't care
Dismissing all my feelings
Throw that in the air
So then I have to breathe in
Makes it all worse thinking no one understands how I'm feeling
You would stay with me forever if you could
Hate that things are out of our control
I really wish they would give us a break
Leave the misery for another day
I'm tryna cope with the pain and I hate when people say that
It happened for a reason
As if there was one for leaving
Know they're just trying to help but it's not helping
Please believe it
I don't wanna hear about the better place that you're in
There ain't nowhere you can go that's better than with me forever and
There ain't no words that could fill this hole in my chest
And when it's my time and they put my body to rest
I hope I see you again
They keep saying I'm strong
But it's exhausting to be suffering this long, long, long
Who knew life could be torture?
You're only getting older
In a perfect world
For forever I could hold ya
I wish there was no evil
No sickness or disease, oh
In a perfect world
Nothing could take you away from me, oh
They say that grief is the price you pay for love
I got ripped off that day you left
I could barely breathe
They say that grief is the price you pay for love
I got ripped off that day you left
I could barely breathe
Who knew life could be torture?
You're only getting older
In a perfect world
For forever I could hold ya
I wish there was no evil
No sickness or disease, oh
In a perfect world
Nothing could take you away from me, oh
I could very easily with just one thought
The day that you'll be leaving me is on my mind
And I don't wanna think about it all the time
How will I live when you are gone?
You're already drifting away
Life is not long enough
I hope you stay with me for quite a while
I don't wanna be in a world without your smile
Who knew life could be torture?
You're only getting older
In a perfect world
For forever I could hold ya
I wish there was no evil
No sickness or disease, oh
In a perfect world
Nothing could take you away from me, oh
"Life is unfair" is not a good reason
It's like they don't care
Dismissing all my feelings
Throw that in the air
So then I have to breathe in
Makes it all worse thinking no one understands how I'm feeling
You would stay with me forever if you could
Hate that things are out of our control
I really wish they would give us a break
Leave the misery for another day
I'm tryna cope with the pain and I hate when people say that

As if there was one for leaving
Know they're just trying to help but it's not helping
Please believe it
I don't wanna hear about the better place that you're in
There ain't nowhere you can go that's better than with me forever and
There ain't no words that could fill this hole in my chest

They say that grief is the price you pay for love
I got ripped off that day you left
I could barely breathe

You're only getting older
In a perfect world
For forever I could hold ya
I wish there was no evil
No sickness or disease, oh
In a perfect world
Nothing could take you away from me, oh
