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 naive? Is it so hard to believe
That you excel in emotional concealing?

No matter what I do, I never measure up for you
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 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 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

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
