Perfect World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take your time
And look into the dark
Was it always somewhere far
Welcome to the same old place
I hope it's here to stay
But not today

[Verse 2]
Like a hole that's in your head
Was it something that I said?
I know it's far too late
And feels like hate

[Bridge]
If you want to see it fly
Imitation's not in style
Now I really need it

[Chorus]
And I know
It's not a perfect world
You know it's not for sale
And I don't feel very well
And I know it's gonna fail

[Verse 3]
Welcome to the same old place
Can't be seen from outer space
It's just so far away
I'm not okay

[Bridge Repeat]

[Chorus Repeat]

[Chorus Repeat]

[Chorus Outro]
It doesn't have to be And it wasn't meant for me
