No matter what you say to me A heart of stone and crooked teeth I cursed the dirt behind my heels Oh I curse the one who doesn't know how I feel Of all the things I've said in vain You know I never mentioned you by name And though it's all in the past Oh I never could've known how long this would last 'Cause all my life I've seen these skies It's paradise, paradise And every time I leave this place I'm terrified, terrified. What if it just in my head I should've listened to you instead And all those times when I tried to hard When all along I should have stayed on guard You'd think that I would have learned by now But I'm still working on learning how To keep my mind in a quiet state To finally keep my head on straight 'Cause all my life I've seen these skies It's paradise, paradise And every time I leave this place I'm terrified, terrified.
