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
