Lyrics
Paradise
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.
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well, nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight, to fight
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well, all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the Sun will take
Her artificial light, her light
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright, alright
Don't pretend to hold it in, just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in, just push it out
Don't you try to hold it in, just let it out
And don't you try to hold it in you, hold it in
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
