Lyrics
Love's gonna get you killed But pride's gonna be the death of you, and you and me And you, and you, and you and me And you, and you, and you and me And you, and you, and you and me
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care In another life, I surely was there Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care I care, I care
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen? The better part, the human heart You love 'em or dissect 'em Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world I don't trust people enough beyond their surface world I don't love people enough to put my faith in man I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a man
To understand I ain't perfect I probably won't come around This time, I might put you down Last time, I ain't give a fuck, I still feel the same now My feelings might go numb You're dealing with cold thumb I'm willing to give up a leg and arm And show empathy from
Pity parties and functions and you and yours A perfect world, you probably live another 24 I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care In another life, I surely was there Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care I care, I care
Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there
Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive Cold as December, but never remember what winter did I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid Seems like I point the finger just to make a point, nowadays
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that

Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies Promises are broken and more resentment come alive Race barriers make inferior of you And I see, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care In another life, I surely was there Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care I care, I care
Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there Maybe I wasn't there
