once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
She sat silently in the darkness. Against her will, the memories floated all around her. The memories of a time when things in life were good, when she could control herself, the memories of him.
everytime she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
What would have happened if she would have said yes? She asked herself that question everyday, every night. What use was her life without this? Without him?
well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight
If only he would come back. She'd make it right this time, she really would. If only he'd give her a second chance. But he wouldn't, would he? He'd never come back. And, funny enough, she knew it so well by now that it didn't even hurt anymore to think of it.
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight, to fight
Any other time she would have put her foot down and fought back, but when they accused her of the death of Paul Krendler and fired her from the FBI, she had no words to give them. How could she? She didn't even have the comforting words to give herself.
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
Everything she did was so fake, such a lie...
as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies
She tried to find the words to tell herself, anything, just anything to find something to comfort her, to make everything okay. The trial was tomorrow, and with all the evidence pointing towards her, she was sure to be going to prison for the rest of her life. This was her last free day ever. And it was hell. Sheer hell. But she kept telling herself that everything would be alright anyway.
well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive
a day in which the sun will take
her artifical light, her light
The thoughts of suicide were so strong in her mind. She needed a way out, she couldn't be locked behind bars for the rest of her life for something he did. Yet, she loved him anyway and she wished that he would save her now. She wished that he could be the sun to make all those fake thoughts that everything would be alright to come true. All she needed now was a reason to stay here.
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
She was trapped here. This was the best there was, because he was never coming back. This was her last chance to leave, her last chance to run, and he wasn't coming. Her life was over. It was depressing, but true... her life had meant nothing, not a thing to anyone, she was alone.
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
She kept telling herself that there had to be more. So much more. She couldn't listen to these thoughts. She couldn't stop from crying anymore. She had to let it go and the tears began to fall down her face in the midst of that darkness and illusion.
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
As those tears fell, she felt a sudden warmth around her. She fell back into those arms that she knew so well, though she had never fallen into them before. He whiped her tears. And finally, there really was paradise.
