Thought I had it all
I was playing with fire
Feeling like a superstar
Couldn't get any higher (da-dum, dum)
Never thought I'd fall
For my deepest desires (desires)
Pushed me up against the wall
'Til I hit rock bottom (da-dum)
Oh, every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe
Ooh, don't want your crown
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise
(Paradise)
(Pa-paradise)
(Pa-paradise)
I am drowning in paradise
Through my inner dust
Tryna find my way home
When I got nothing left to give
I was on my own (ooh, yeah)
What was I worth now? No-nobody knows
They kept on using my heart and my soul
I keep on pushing emotions away
(Don't wanna face all the pain)
Oh, every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe (breathe)
Ooh, don't want your crown (don't want your crown)
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise
(Paradise)
(Pa-paradise)
(Pa-paradise)
I am drowning in paradise
Like I'm drowning in paradise
(Oh, oh, oh)
Every time I dream
No, you can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
In paradise
Ooh, paradise
Oh, every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe
Ooh, don't want your crown
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise
Oh, yeah
Let me breathe (let me breathe)
I am drowning in paradise
