Tryna feel somethin’ real, to cry, again,

they say the artist needs tears, to write, again…

Cuz all of my favorite stories

end in some kind of catastrophe.

But I don’t need someone to save me

cuz this music and I will never die.

It’s such a tough situation,

petal in the pavement,

just as long as she keeps getting it right,

heartbreak won’t bite here in paradise.

This is such a convenient conflation,

this record in rotation,

long as she gets the ovation each night,

heartbreak won’t bitе – this is paradise.

I hear them all say, “Ooh,

ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh.” (mm-mm, mm)

Thеy say, “Ooh,

ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh.” (mm-mm)

Tell me who’s to blame is it the people or myself – yep.

But this time feels so very diff’rent

this is not a cry for help.

A couple million for my thoughts, I’ve got plenty

but I am not a victim,

look I’m practic’lly drowning in my blessings.

It’s bye, this time for real,

tired of painting endless pictures of a life, that isn’t mine.

Got a diff’rent voice I can’t hide,

if this is my curse, I’ll let it ride, ride.

Cuz all of my favorite stories

end in some kind of catastrophe.

But I don’t need someone to save me

cuz this music and I will never die.
