Paradise as we know it
Is long gone
Paradise as we know it
Has faded away
Here we go again
Arguing about this that and the third
All this bs i heard
Now it is awkward
People Take notice everyday
That our honeymoon stage has
The other day i had to think
Why am i putting up with all of this I'm at my sink
Trying wash my face cause my eyes teary and pink
I care too much I get it okay
I pray this Drama would
On my momma i never thought we would be
In this state of hate i saw you and me
Going the distance
Establishing longevity
Probably engaging you out of school at 23
At 24 i envisioned us two settling
At 25 i saw church aisle peddling with flowers
And in the later hours of that night we'd probably post all on our Feed
The happiest day of our lives later I'll plant my seed
But i didn't succeed in planning g for the worst
And i was too selfless i always had to put you first
No matter what i sacrifice all for you
All this effort
All this love
And please look what grew
A relationship on the edge
We would be friends regardless is what we pledge
But it's hard cause I'm scarred and now I'm numb
All because you wanna act like i am dumb
And now it's hard for me to commit to someone new
Cause I'm the end i only really want you
Paradise as we know it
Is long gone
Paradise as we know it
Has faded away
I admit I'm not perfect
I've been hurt a few times
I got scars that ain't healed
I ignored all the signs
You told me don't waste your time you confided in me
You trust me way too much
You made this image of we
I've experienced love before i often compare
I try my hardest to stop because to you it's no fair
I am your first everything it's like you only know me
You only know us
Its like all that you see
In your future
And that scares me cause i honestly don't know
If i was place forever or just for to grow
Fell in love with your potential
I think I'm married to our time
I love you way too much to hurt you
Hate doubt still present on my mind
Why would you want me to stay
If that means I'll be hurting you more
I know this love affairs naive
We don't know what is in store
That's beauty i suppose
You asked me what we are i couldn't answer sadly i froze...
I don't wanna wake up and find out you're not there, no no no no
I don't wanna wake up and find out you're not there, no no
Just want to see you tossing and turning in my bed
Run your fingers through my head
Seems like you're gone forever
