In A Perfect World

I'm so scared of falling
Always in and out, up and down, too afraid to be open
I found myself in you and it made me feel so fucking scared

'Cause, when I am open
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
You can even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad
So, I leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
I leave when it gets too good
But

In a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Oh, in a perfect world

Yeah, at least you're self-aware, I'll give you some credit
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid, yeah
Baby, I said it, you're so scared of regretting something before you can even regret it
And we could be great and it would be great if you'd let it, oh

But you leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
You (I) leave when it gets too good

But in a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Oh, in a perfect world

I leave when it gets too good
(When it gets too good, you always)
Leave when it gets too good

Oh, but in a perfect world, there's just us two
And I let myself get lost in you
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
