Thought I had it all, I was playing with fire Feeling like a superstar couldn't get any higher Never thought I'd fall for my deepest desires Pushed me up against the wall till I hit rock bottom 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 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 What was I worth now, no nobody knows They kept on using my heart and my soul I keep on pushing emotions away I 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 Ooh don't want your crown (don't want your crown) 'Cause I don't wanna feel Like I'm drowning in paradise I am drowning in paradise Like I'm drowning in paradise (Ooh) Every time I dream No, you can't hold me down 'Cause none of it is real I am drowning in paradise Paradise Paradise 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 Let me breathe (let me breathe) I am drowning in paradise
