Paradise

[Intro]
I get a shiver up my spine, like, every time you come around
Always got you on my mind, can't ever seem to get you out
Some may call it paradise, I call it running from the sound
Of these thoughts inside my head, trying so hard to drag me down

[Verse 1]
And I find myself overthinking, please, don't give me a reason
You make it way too hard to figure out if you mean what you say
Suddenly, I struggle breathing, give me a break, I need it
'Cause recently, I've been trying to live my life out, day to day
Your lies feel like an ocean
And I'm drowning in them, but I wouldn't mind overdosing

If it means I could stay with you for just a little longer, stand a little taller
Try it all again, until you take it back and faultier
Paper and a pen, put my words into a song, but it doesn't ever help, it just making the fall softer
So, tell me, do you mean what you say, or are you lying to me over again?

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't just believe it, 'cause you say it is
'Cause recently, you've had some lies slipping off your lips
You tried to tell me that it really was a true love's kiss
But I don't believe it, I don't believe it, nah

[Chorus]
You were just a set back, you were just a lie
Just a bump that's on the road, I've been walking most my life
I can make it on my own, baby, I'm not gonna lie
But I'll say it, so you know, you used to be my paradise
You were just a set back, you were just a lie
Just a bump that's on the road, I've been walking most my life
I can make it on my own, baby, I'm not gonna lie
But I'll say it, so you know, you used to be my paradise

[Verse 2]
Lately, I've been thinking, there must be a reason that you came into my life just to break my heart
But when I look back, sometimes, I feel stupid, when I look back, I shoulda known from the start
But I'm still young and dumb, and I'll make more mistakes
I'll keep myself broken, in each and every way
But here's to hoping that, one day, everything's gonna change
And I'll become a better person, with a lot more to say

[Outro]
And a lot more to do for the world
That's assuming, that, it ain't with the music you've heard
If it is, then, I guess, I'm okay with the hurt
'Cause it taught me, that, it's never true love first
