Now when the night falls
I won't be there
To cast a shadow on your wall

Why do we act this way
Somehow the light of day
Makes our troubles seem so small

We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it

Chorus:
In a perfect world
It wouldn't be too late to make it right
In a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight, ahh ah
In our perfect world tonight

If you lay down your shield
I won't hurt you
Just let me show you how I feel

Down deep inside my heart
You know you left your mark
No one can say that it's not real

We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it this time

Chorus

The wheel keeps turnin'
And we're burnin' in the flames
It's not wrong to hold on to love
And let go of the pain

Chorus
