Song Lyrics

This life is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me

Just like a desert needs a flood
I still need your love
No matter what, I'll hold my ground
Even if I'm drowning, yeah

It's just the nature of keeping you close
It's the ones you care for
That will hurt you the most
Nothing drops me from so high
You leave me fighting for my life

Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me, yeah
This life is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me

Yeah, you kiss me when I'm down
And you suck the poison out
Then you make me sick again
'Cause you've got the medicine

It's just the nature of loving you, girls
It's the ones you fight for
That will conquer your world, ooh

Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me
This life is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
This life is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me

I'm bracing for the worst
And hoping for the best
Trying to make sense of
The madness in my head

It's the problem with keeping me close
The people you hold on to
Are the ones who let go

This life is a paradox
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
This love is a paradox
You're the only thing that almost killed me
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
You're the only thing that almost killed me
