tryna feel something real
to cry again
they say the artist needs tears
to write again

all of my favorite stories
end in some kind of catastrophe
but i don't need someone to save me
cause this music and i will never die

it's such a fucked situation
petal in the pavement
just as long as she keeps getting it right
heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
such a convenient conflation
this record in rotation
long as she gets the ovation each night
heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise

i hear them all say ooo ooO ooo
they say ooo ooO ooo

tell me who's to blame
is it the people or myself
but this time feels so very different
this is not a cry for help
couple million for my thoughts
i've got plenty
but i'm not a victim bitch i'm
practically drowning in my blessings

it's bye
this time forreal
tired of painting endless pictures
of a life that isn't mine
trying different boys on for size
if this is my curse i'll let it ride

all of my favorite stories
end in some kind of catastrophe
but i don't need someone to save me
cause this music and i will never die

it's such a fucked situation
petal in the pavement
just as long as she keeps getting it right
heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
such a convenient conflation
this record in rotation
long as she gets the ovation each night
heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise

i hear them all say ooo ooO ooo
they say ooo ooO ooo

i hear them all say ooo ooO ooo
they say ooo ooO ooo
