Paradise / Intro

Like I said
It’s gonna happen
I know it will
'Cause I’ve worked so hard
Like you tried
To keep it together
Instead, you fell apart
And it breaks my heart
And all I know
Is that if love were easy
My job would be too
But I’d still love you
And all I see
When I close my eyes
Is paradise
But it’s burning down
And all you see
When you close your eyes
I bet I’m burning down, I bet I’m burning down
Cause I’m not afraid to die
But if I leave tonight
Then I’m leaving paradise
This world is mad
Even though you live inside AC
You breathing clean air tryna get crazy
Off of drugs, feelin' high, but all you get is low
This world is mad
Looking out to the picket fence, but my my
You’re not impressed enough to pay the rent
Mercedes in the drive, but you still want to run from home
And all I know
Is that if love were easy
My job would be too
And I’d still love you
And all I see
When I close my eyes
Is paradise
But it’s burning down
And all you see
When you close your eyes
I bet I’m burning down, I bet I’m burning down
Cause I’m not afraid to die
But if I leave tonight
Then I’m leaving…
I’m exhausted but still I don’t sleep
I found my paradise without a place to be
I’m holding on to what I heard last summer
I’m treading water but my head is going under
This world is mad and your eyes don’t shut
But I could tell you that I’m not in love
You’re shutting out while your mind caves in
But don’t forget what that pretty mind did
I’m exhausted but still I don’t sleep
I found my paradise without a place to be
I’m holding on to what I heard last summer
I’m treading water but my head is going under
This world is mad and your eyes don’t shut
But I could tell you that I’m not in love
You’re shutting out while your mind caves in
But don’t forget what that pretty mind did
And all I see
When I close my eyes
Is paradise
But it’s burning down
And all you see
When you close your eyes
I bet I’m burning down, I bet I’m burning down
Cause I’m not afraid to die
