Paradox
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
You're the only thing that almost killed me
Just like a desert need a flood
I still need your love
No matter what I hold my ground
Even if I'm drowning, yeah
It's just the nature of keeping you close
It's the ones you care for
That will hate you the most
Nothing drop me from so high
You leave me fighting for my life
Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me, yeah
This light is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
Yeah, you kiss me when I'm down
And you suck the poison out
Then you make me sick again
'Cause you've got the medicine
It's just the nature of loving you girls
It's the ones you fight for
That will conquer your world, ooh
Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me
This light is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
This light is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
I'm bracing for the worst
And hoping for the best
Trying to make cents of
The madness in my head
It's the problem with keeping me close
The people you hold on to
Are the ones who let go
This light is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
You're the only thing that almost killed me
