In A Perfect World (with Julia Michaels) - Acoustic

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'll 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
Oh-oh, in a perfect world

Yeah, at least you're 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 would be great if you'd let it, oh-whoa

But you leave
When it gets too good, yeah
You leave (I'll 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'll 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
Oh-oh, in a perfect world

I leave when it gets too good
When it gets too good
(You always) leave (leave)
When it gets too good

Oh, but in a perfect world, there's just us two
And I let myself get lost in you
When you ask me if I love you, I'll say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
