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 covers 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 and Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in
[chorus]
Once upon a year gone by She saw herself give in Every time she closed her eyes She saw what could have been
