Paradox

(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 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

And leave 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 conqure 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 onto

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)
