What a Perfect Crime

I've been trying so hard
to hide how I feel
this all seems so fake
it cannot be real


I'm dragged away
from all the hurt and the shame
I know in my heart
there is no one to blame


But it's still you that I see
when I close my eyes
every word you say
comes as such a surprise


I can try to pretend
that I don't really care
take a good look at me
and you've stolen my air


I cannot deny
that it's you that I chase
and even in my dreams
it's still your perfect face


I'm feeling so much
I'm feeling so rushed
all the things I've said
coming out of my head


I stop and think
try to wonder why
but then I see you
from the corner of my eye
and I lose control
I can't even stand
when you stare into me
and you tug on my hand


When you look in my soul
oh what do you see?
an infection of you?
is that what you see?


I've locked away
all I can't forget
and even though that's you
I could never regret
seeing you for the first time
losing my breath
falling out of rhyme


Oh your perfect ways
I can't block you out
and even if this is real
I can't help but doubt


This must be a dream
you cannot be real
but every kiss you give me
I can honestly feel
every flick of the wrist
dragged across my hips
too good to be true
trying to get through
this cage I'm inside
this place that I hide
where no one can see
that you hold the key
can you get me out?
can you set me free?


Every word you said
idolized in my eyes
you think I'm perfect
what went wrong in your head?


I keep getting mixed up
and just when it's clear
you see me and hold me near


My head's so confused
I can't sort things out
I hold you close
without a hint of doubt


Do I feel for you
what I feel for myself?
I'm taken all of me
put it up on the shelf


It's only you now
because you've opened my eyes
I'm no longer blind
I've finally realized
that all this shock I've been put through
the fear and the hope, the lies and the truth,
has all been for one reason
one reason alone
to show you all the feelings
I've left behind


I'll steal you're heart
while you steal mine
and we'll waste away the days
thinking 'oh, what a perfect crime'
