In A Perfect World
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's darkness all around me now
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
I broke her heart so many times
And now at last I've broken mine
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her
But fools in love are taught by fate
We never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I had to know there had to be an end
But fools in love are taught by fate,
We never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
