Keep me in mind if your heart and soul are so inclined,
God rest your body and all that I put it through, short of loving you,
The devil chased me hard, and I mistook you for a place to hide,
You turned me out, just in time to find the bill's come due,
Done, lost every dime.

Picture a perfect world where I love...where I love you forever, girl,
It's my world inside and I've tried, but I can't get it out, let it go, let my love come alive.

I read the signs; they said, "Slow - don't go so fast this time,"
So I gave it the gas and I crashed through the morning sighs,
Pity the nights,
We cried and cried, and told ourselves all of the lies that we despised,
Broke our hearts and our minds,
Glad you saved your life; I ruined mine.

Picture a perfect world where I love...where I love you forever, girl,
It's my world inside and I've tried, but I can't get it out, let it go, let my love come,
And in a perfect world, I would love to give all of it to you, girl,
But I wasn't that guy, though I tried,
Did I try hard enough'
Not enough, not enough...that's why.

That was long ago,
Can't remember, 'cause it's been so long,
That's my world inside, inside.
