Song lyrics
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well, nothing hurts and nothing bleeds 
When cover's tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight
To fight

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise

As darkness quickly steals the light 
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear 
And soothes her mind with lies
Well, all she wants and all she needs 
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take her artificial light
Her light

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright
Alright

Don't pretend to hold it in, just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in, just push it out
Don't you try to hold it in, just let it out
Don't you try to hold it in, hold it in

One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been

I like this songs. It's dark and has depth. You would think that because of the title, Paradise, it would be happier, but it's actually dark. "Every time she close her eyes, she saw what could have been." Great line! Teehee. I really like this song.

i love this song so much!

once upon a year gone by she saw herself give in
everytime she closed her eyes she saw what could have been

well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds when covers tucked in tight
funny when the bottom drops how she forgets to fight
