Perfect Life Lyrics

The lies of romance smash the windows of my mind
Searching for those fairy tales I've heard so many times
I'll close my eyes to block out the light
And to see inside of me
I'll carry the world on my shoulders
And I'll prove what I can be

Yes I'll prove what I can be

I'll forge my own destiny
I'll create my own future with possibility
Why is it trying to tell me
That happiness is a light that no one sees?
I'll scream as loud as I can
Break down all the walls of ignorance

In a perfect life
(I won't have to even try)
In a perfect life
(I won't have to close my eyes)

I'll close my eyes to block out the light
The light that has blocked me in
I've tried to many times to run as fast as I can
Away from things that scare me
I'm falling
I'm falling down
Stop me before I fall too far
The time has come for me to leave

My time has come

Separate
My fear from hate
It's held me back for too long now
I believe
I will survive
Long enough to succeed
Long enough to get by

And I know what a perfect life could be
So far away, yet so close to all my dreams

And as the time goes by

Just leave it up to me.
