A Perfect World - Jack Campbell

I wonder if she exists

The girl in my head

The one I thought was you

Until you shot me dead

And I lay still on your bedroom floor

I love every bridge

That I have burned

Every lesson I have learned

Every hater I have earned

Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend nothing changed

As far as I know I’m still in your sister’s arms

While you watch tv ignoring me in the other room

But I don’t say goodbye

I’m afraid of your eyes

After they set me on fire

And I ran for my life

I don’t understand

Now two years down the road

This shouldn’t feel the way it does

I shouldn’t have this heavy load

In a perfect world, you wouldn’t mean a thing to me

I wouldn’t cringe every time I hear your voice

Though I burned this bridge, your is stuck inside my cheek

But even when you tug and fuck my mind,

On these sleepless nights

I won’t turn on the lights

I’ll do what’s right

I’ll leave your life

As long as you leave mine
