Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so scared of falling
I was in and out, up and down, too afraid to be open
I found myself in you, and it made me feel so fucking scared
[Verse 2]
'Cause when I am open
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
You can even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad
[PreChorus]
So I leave when it gets too good
Yeah, yeah
I leave when it gets too good
[Chorus]
But in a perfect world I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim-lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say I do
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Ooh, in a perfect world
[Verse 3]
Yeah, at least you're self-aware, I'll give you some credit
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid, yeah
Baby, I said it
You're so scared of regretting something
Before you can even regret it
And we could be great
And it would be great if you'd let it
[PreChorus]
But you leave when it gets too good
Yeah
You leave when it gets too good (I leave when it gets too good)
[Chorus]
But in a perfect world I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim-lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say I do
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
Ooh, in a perfect world
[PreChorus]
I leave when it gets too good
When it gets too good, you always
Leave when it gets too good
[Outro]
Oh, but in a perfect world there's just us two
And I let myself get lost in you
When you ask me if I love you, I say I do
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
