CHASING PARADISE

In my head I had a vision of paradise Heaven in the distance, l can't describe Thought it would be different when l arrived So beautiful, but pretty lies The sunrise from my apartment Is that what l really wanted? Didn't think I'd be this lonely Looking at it closely Wish somebody told me Chasing paradise only gets you so far Easy to go blind looking up at the stars If I'd go back in time, I'd enjoy the ride On the other side, don't forget what you are Chasing paradise only gets you so far Never trust your eye half as much as your heart The finer things in life always lose their shine Chasing paradise, don't forget what you are It all looks good in pictures but isn't true Even I'm deceived by my point of view Yeah, everything's amazing, the sky is blue But the part of me that's hurting It's hard to lose Chasing paradise only gets you so far Easy to go blind looking up at the stars If I'd go back in time, I'd enjoy the ride On the other side, don't forget what you are Chasing paradise only gets you so far Never trust your eye half as much as your heart The finer things in life always lose their shine Chasing paradise, don't forget what you are The sunrise from my apartment Is this what l really wanted? Didn't think I'd be this lonely Kind of miss the old me Don't know why I don't leave
