Paradise / Intro

Like I said, it's gonna happen
I know it will, 'cause I 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 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
And you breathe in clean air, tryna get crazy
Off of drugs, feeling high, but all you get is low
This world is mad, looking out to the picket fence
But, my my, you're not impressing 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
But I 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 can 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 can 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
