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 and die like this

I dare you to fight for it



Chorus:

In a perfect world

It 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 and die like this

I dare you to fight for it this time



Chorus



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
