Paradise Lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

Paradise Lyrics

    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

    [chorus]

    once upon a year gone by
    she saw herself give in
    every time she closed her eyes
    she saw what could have been
