You are in Paradise
Izadora Hoffmann
The clock on the wall keeps ticking slow
Another sunrise I have to know
But the light that used to fill this room
Is just a ghost, lost to the gloom
I trace the lines where your head would rest
A hollow ache inside my chest
They say you're free, that you have peace
But the silence here just won't release me
I still reach for you in the middle of the night
But all I grasp is the cold, cruel light
I wish I could trade places, be the one who flew
'Cause this waking life is nothing without you
You are in paradise, far from my arms
Far away from me
I'm sorry baby this is happening
You are in paradise, far from my eyes
I can't believe baby you leaving me
I walk the streets where we used to stray
Every corner screams you're gone away
A thousand memories flash and burn
A lesson in love I'll never unlearn
I try to smile, I try to pretend
That this lonely road will someday end
But every star that shines above
Just reminds me of your fleeting love
I still reach for you in the middle of the night
But all I grasp is the cold, cruel light
I wish I could trade places, be the one who flew
'Cause this waking life is nothing without you
You are in paradise, far from my arms
Far away from me
I'm sorry baby this is happening
You are in paradise, far from my eyes
I can't believe baby you leaving me
They tell me to move on, to find a new path
To let go of the pain, the sorrow, the wrath
But my heart is a tether, tied to your light
Lost in the dark of this endless night
If paradise is real, then why am I here?
Trapped with the memory, the shame, and the fear
You are in paradise, far from my arms
Far away from me
I'm sorry baby this is happening
You are in paradise, far from my eyes
I can't believe baby you leaving me
Far from my arms
Far from my eyes
Oh, this is happening
Baby, you leaving me
In this empty, empty room
