Like I say,
It's gonna happen
I know it will
'Cause I've worked so hard
Like you try
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
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
All that 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 it you see
You breathe the clean air tryna get crazy
Out for drugs, feelin' high, but all you get is love
This world is mad
Looking out to the picket fence
But my mind, 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
All that I'm burning down 'Cause I'm not afraid to die
And 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 shut it out while your mind caves in
And 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 shut it out while your mind caves in
And don't forget what that pretty mind did
When I close my eyes
I see paradise
But it's burning down
And all you see
When you close your eyes
All that I'm burning down 'Cause I'm not afraid to die
