Now when the night falls,
I won't be there,
To cast a shadow on your wall.
Why do we act this way,
Somehow the light of day,
Makes our troubles seem so small.
We live & die like this,
I dare you to fight for it.
[Chorus: ]
In a perfect world.
Wouldn't be too late to make it right.
In a perfect world.
I'd be holding you so very tight. ahh ah,
In our perfect world tonight.
If you lay down your shield,
I won't hurt you.
Just let me show you how I feel.
Down deep inside my heart,
You know you left your mark.
No one can say that it's not real.
We live & die like this.
I dare you to fight for it this time.
[Chorus ]
[Bridge:]
The wheel keeps turnin'
And we're burnin' in the flames.
It's not wrong to hold on to love,
And let go of the pain. chorus
