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.
