Seems I just can't do enough

I could never win your love

Why should I try

When you never share your feelings?

How could I be so nave?

Is it so hard to believe

That you excel in emotional concealing?



No matter what I do

I never measure up for you

But you just keep that smile on your face

No matter how much I try

You're never really satisfied

Until you run away and hide



In your perfect world

Where there's no one to blame

No one can hurt your feelings

And you don't feel no pain

Everybody loves you

And nobody gets burned

As long as you are living

In your perfect world



It seems like everyone gets screened

On your answering machine

Can't take the call

And let down your defenses

You can't let anybody see

Your real personality

Is it pride, or just your false pretenses?



Maybe a part of you has died

Because you keep it all inside

But still you wear that smile on your face

It seems no matter what I do

I just can't get through to you

But I always know where to find you



In your perfect world

Where nothing can go wrong

You're always in control

And we all get along

And everything is beautiful

No need for concern

As long as you are living

In your perfect world



Maybe a part of you has died

Because you keep it all inside

Is it hard to keep that smile on you face

It seems no matter what I do

I just can't get through to you

But I always know where to find you



Chorus
