Don't close your eyes
They may not open
What if they open
Would you be alive
Everyone falls
But not everyone rises
Why don't you get up
And rise again for me
What if the world were
a little more perfect
Just stop crying or
would you take the leap
What if the world
were a little more perfect
Would you open your eyes
and blink again for me
for me...
What about friendship
What about friends
You said the whole world
was against you
And it all had to end
What about love
What about family
What about all that
you have to live for
What if the world were
a little more perfect
Just stop crying or
would you take the leap
What if the world
were a little more perfect
Would you open your eyes
and blink again for me
for me...
It isn't easy here without you
Why did you leave me
What am I supposed to do
without you...
What if the world
What if the world were
were a little more perfect
a little more perfect
Just stop crying
Just stop crying or
would you take the leap
or would you take the leap
What if the world were
a little more perfect
Would you open your heart
What if the world
were a little more perfect
Just stop crying
or would you take the leap
What if the world
were a little more perfect
Would you open your heart
and blink again for me
for me...
for me.
