Somewhere between a lie and truth   Lies a subtle line of gray and   Although it's undetectable   It's reflected in all we say      We don't want to hate or judge each other   We just want to live our lives   To save ourselves, we must seek the truth   And recognize these rites      I have my motivation, prejudice and pain   I will not live my life, live my life in vain   I have my motivation, prejudice and pain   No, I will not live my life, live my life in vain      This more-than-human condition   A denial of our flaws   We want the effects of perfection   But disregard the cause      A simple mistaken judgment   An unmistakable fact of life   We want to say we can do no wrong   But wrong's what defines right      In a perfect world, in a perfect world   In a perfect world that I can't live   In a perfect world, in a perfect world   In a perfect world that I can't live      In a perfect world, in a perfect world   In a perfect world that I can't live      We're fallible, we're so fragile   We suffer for our sins   We have to learn to learn from our mistakes   And somehow make amends      Stress and instability   Depression and dismay   We want to live without regrets   But there is no other way   You can't have it, you can't have it all
