Lyrics

Perfect World

You're precious

I can't stand seeing you cry

It hurts

Watching you get what you don't deserve

I tell myself

You don't belong in this rough life

You should have a perfect world

You should have a perfect world

You're too gentle

And much too quick to forgive

Every slight

And blow you've ever been dealt

Well who knows

If the world will ever deserve you

You should have a perfect world

You should have a perfect world

And who knows

If the world will ever deserve you

You should have a perfect world

You should have a perfect world
