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 na've? 
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 

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 

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
