Perfect World
Simple Plan · Still Not Getting Any
I never couldÂ’ve seen this coming
It seems like my worldÂ’s falling apart, Yeah
Why is everything so hard
I donÂ’t think that I can deal with the things you said
It just wonÂ’t go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
YouÂ’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through, Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Cuz I canÂ’t let go
I just canÂ’t find my way, Yeah
Without you I just canÂ’t find my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
YouÂ’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I donÂ’t know what I should do now
I donÂ’t know where I should go
IÂ’m still here waiting for you
IÂ’m lost when youÂ’re not around
I need to hold on to you
I just canÂ’t let you go
Yeah
Yeah
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
YouÂ’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
