Perfect World
Simple Plan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never could have seen this far
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart
Why is everything so hard?
I don't think that I can deal
With the things you said
It just won't go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all

I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Without you I just can't find my way

I don't know what I should do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go

In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all





Nothing at all

Why is everything so hard?
I don't understand why things are so difficult


I don't think that I can deal

With the things you said
Your words have hurt me badly


It just won't go away
I can't stop thinking about it


In a perfect world
In a world without pain and sadness


This could never happen
Things like this would never occur


You'd still be here
You would still be alive


And it makes no sense
This situation is senseless


I can just pick up the pieces
I can try to move on

You wouldn't care about this

You were my guidance


I don't know what I should do now
I am unsure of my next steps


I don't know where I should go
I feel lost without you


I'm still here waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come back


I'm lost when you're not around
I feel lost without your presence


I need to hold on to you
I need you to be here with me


I just can't let you go
I can't bear to lose you

Perfect World- Simple Plan

I never could've seen this far
I never could've see this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart
Yeah
Why is everything so hard
I don't think that I can deal
With the things you said
It just won't go away

In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all

I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to 
Make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause I can't let go
I just can't find
My way
Without you 
I just
Can't find
My way


In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all

I don't know what I should do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold onto you
I
Just
Can't let you go
Yeah
Yeah

In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
