Lyrics
A Perfect Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a little bit ruthless
Sometime occluded
Every time that you smile
I break
You were down
You're out
You're altogether perfectly sound
You say that you're a dream
If I stay
Insane
Then maybe it will balance this out
'Cause I know you're never wrong
So give me something more
More than I can take
Give me something more
More than I can hate
Give me something more
More than I can stake
Give me something more
So your innocence will fade
I know you're perfect
You say that you are
Our love is worth it
But nothing's been so hard
Every time I say
Wouldn't have another way, it seems
We're two worlds apart
You were right
I'm wrong
So many times I sing the same old song
And I play it for the world
If I say
Something
You just try to blow it all away
And let the pieces fall astray
So give me something more
More than I can take
Give me something more
More than I can hate
Give me something more
More than I can stake
Give me something more
So your innocence will fade
I know you're perfect
'Cause you say that you are
Our love is worth it
But nothing's been so hard
Every time I say
Wouldn't have another way, it seems
We're two worlds apart
Two worlds apart
So try and dream
Everything is subject to change
Now we're face to face
Picking the pieces up
Putting your life back in place
Give me something more
More than I can take
Give me something more
More than I can hate
I know you're perfect
'Cause you say that you are
Our love is worth it
But nothing's been so hard
With every step I take
I make the same mistake
Even though my heart would break
With you I can't relate
Every time I say
Wouldn't have another way, it seems
We're two worlds apart
Two worlds apart
