You ought to see your face
You ought to hear your voice
Last time I was here
I wouldn't turn around
You ought to lock that door
Somebody might get in
Didn't I teach you like that?
This perfect world
So blue I can't begin to say
This perfect world
I know I never should have gone away
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
I see her in your face
I hear her in your voice
Last time I was here
They'd found her in the lake
Think I'm made of stone
Didn't you tell me that
This perfect world
So blue I can't begin to say
This perfect world
They say that soon I will be going away
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
This perfect world
Now I've come around it's far too late
And these pills won't even let me cry
No one knows you even when you're gone
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
No matter what I've done
You ought to see your face
You ought to hear your voice
Lock this after me
You ought to hear your voice
Last time I was here
I wouldn't turn around
You ought to lock that door
Somebody might get in
Didn't I teach you like that?
This perfect world
So blue I can't begin to say
This perfect world
I know I never should have gone away
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
I see her in your face
I hear her in your voice
Last time I was here
They'd found her in the lake
Think I'm made of stone
Didn't you tell me that
This perfect world
So blue I can't begin to say
This perfect world
They say that soon I will be going away
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
This perfect world
Now I've come around it's far too late
And these pills won't even let me cry
No one knows you even when you're gone
But I still deserve to say goodbye
No matter what I've done
No matter what I've done
You ought to see your face
You ought to hear your voice
Lock this after me

no idea wat this song is about...i think the reference to "this perfect world" is that the world is perfect even with the bad things and we have to accept them...but even though the world is perfect, the people in it are not, he did something wrong but thinks admitting it and apologizing should be enough to, if not get the girl back, end the relationship on good terms...b/c he can't move on to future relationships w/out closing the old one...
...but that lyric "i still deserve to say goodby no matter what I've done" is extremely touching
