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
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
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
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
Everything is beautiful
No need for concern
As long as you are living in your perfect world
