I tried to treat her to a spotless soul
But found someone had painted it black
She laughed at my face and called me a fool
Then quite casually threw it right back
A thousand punches a thousand rolls
Would prove them b******s right
A million crippled dreams now crushed
And shattered left and right
It's a less than perfect world
From what I've seen
It's a less than perfect world
This worn down scene
I twist and I turn as I'm tumbling down
Onto the fractured remains of my past
Slamming onto the repulsive mess
That was me when I was less of a mess
A thousand punches a thousand rolls
Would prove them b******s right
A million crippled dreams now crushed
And shattered left and right
It's a less than perfect world
From what I've seen
It's a less than perfect world
This worn down scene
I was so sure we were different
I was so certain of us
We were so not like the others
You were so having me on
But found someone had painted it black
She laughed at my face and called me a fool
Then quite casually threw it right back
A thousand punches a thousand rolls
Would prove them b******s right
A million crippled dreams now crushed
And shattered left and right
It's a less than perfect world
From what I've seen
It's a less than perfect world
This worn down scene
I twist and I turn as I'm tumbling down
Onto the fractured remains of my past
Slamming onto the repulsive mess
That was me when I was less of a mess
A thousand punches a thousand rolls
Would prove them b******s right
A million crippled dreams now crushed
And shattered left and right
It's a less than perfect world
From what I've seen
It's a less than perfect world
This worn down scene
I was so sure we were different
I was so certain of us
We were so not like the others
You were so having me on
