[Intro]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and
[Chorus 1]
Me, I wasn't

nother life, I
surely was th

But care, I ca

[Verse 1]
Hell-raising,
wheel-chasing,
new worldly p
ossessions
Flesh-making,
spirit-breakin

ould you lesse

The better par
t, the human h
eart, you love
’em or dissec
t 'em
Happiness or f
lashiness, how
do you serve
the question?
See, in the pe
rfect world, I
would be perf
ect, world
I don't trust
people enough
beyond they su
rface, world
I don't love p
eople enough t
o put my faith
in men
I put my faith
in these lyri
cs hoping I ma
ke amend, I un
derstand
[Verse 2]
I ain't perfec
t, I probably
won't come aro
und
This time I mi
ght put you do
wn, last time
I ain't give a
fuck
I still feel t
he same now, m
y feelings mig
ht go numb
You're dealing
with cold thu

But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
Maybe I wasn’t
there
Maybe I wasn’t

Maybe I wasn’t

Maybe I wasn’t
[Verse 3]
Now in a perfe
ct world, I pr
obably won't b
e insensitive
Cold as Decemb
er but never r
emember what w
#
inter did
I wouldn't bla
me you for mis
takes I made o
r the bed I la
id
Seems like I p
oint the finge
r just to make
a point nowad
ays
Smiles and col
d stares, the
temperature go
es there
Indigenous dis
position, feel
like we belon
g here
I know the wal
ls, they can l
isten, I wish
they could tal
k back
The hurt becom
es repetition,
the love almo
st lost that
[Verse 4]
Sick venom in
men and women
overcome with
pride
A perfect worl
d is never per
fect, only fil
led with lies
Promises are b
roken and more
resentment co
me alive
Race barriers
make inferior
of you and I
See, in a perf
ect world, I'l
l choose faith
over riches
I'll choose wo
rk over bitche
s, I'll make s
#
chools out of
prison
I'll take all
the religions
and put 'em al
l in one servi
ce
Just to tell '
em we ain't sh
