You are in Paradise lyrics

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
