in a perfect world

Julia Michaels

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
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

So, I leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
I leave when it gets too good
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 p?rfect world

Yeah, at least you r? 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 will be great if you d let it, uh

But you leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
You/I leave when it gets too good
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

I leave when it gets too good
(When it gets too good, you always)
Leave when it gets too good (Oh, but)

In a perfect world, it 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
