FOOLS PARADISE

 

I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO SMILE

I’m awake at 5am, I just stare at my ceiling and try to make sense of it all.

Trying to find some meaning, ‘cause my heart’s still beating, it only hurts when I’m breathing.

 

Every word that I write don’t feel right,

Where did we go so wrong?

 

It’s you, the first thing that’s on my mind,

’Til I fall asleep at night, no matter how I try I can’t get you off my mind.

‘Cause you left with no reason why,

Said you loved me but maybe you lied and it’s breaking me up inside.

I’ve forgotten how to smile.

 

Then the nights turn in to days, nothing tastes the same, all my friends think I’m going insane.

‘Cause in trying to find some meaning I just keep repeating our last day and all the things you’d say to me.

 

Every word you said didn’t feel real,

Am I dumb or was I blind?

 

They say maybe it’s for the best,

‘Cause if he really loved me he would hate to see me this way.

And if he really loved me he would never have let me drive my car whilst I was running on empty.

​

I’ve forgotten how to smile.

​

​

BRING IT ON (SET ME FREE)

Ain’t it funny? Ain’t it sad?

That while I slept you went threw away everything we ever had.

And did it make you feel better?

To make me take the blame,

But while you hung me out to dry down came the rain.

 

And it poured and it clouded my mind,

And as I faced all my demons,

It flooded out your lies.

 

So bring it on,

Cause I’m already down on my knees.

Give it your all,

And i'll let it wash over me.

‘Cause I’m already hurt and broken I put the low in lonely.

So bring it on cause your lies,

They’ve set me free,

They’ve set me free.

 

And ain’t it tragic? Ain’t it bad?

That I’d agreed to take your last name and raise the kids you already had.

Put aside my future ‘cause I didn’t need fortune and fame,

All I saw was sun and blue skies, until you bought down the rain.

 

And when I think I could fall no more, 

I find out you’re a mess too, worse then you were before.

So busy running and hiding from your demons,

Just to stop you feeling.

 

Bring it on,

Cause I’m already down on my knees.

Give it your all,

And i’ll let it wash over me.

‘Cause I’m already hurt and broken I put the low in lonely.

So bring it on,

Cause I’m already back on my feet.

Give it your all,

And i’ll show you how a person should be.

‘Cause I’m already hurt and broken I put the low in lonely.

So bring it on cause your lies,

They’ve set me free,

They’ve set me free.

Free (to fade).

LITTEL BIT DRNK

I’m a little bit drunk,

I’ve had one too many, can you pick me up?

Take me back to the place where we fell in love,

Between the sheets, on the first floor.

A place I’ve been so many times before,

It’s been so long since you let me walk out the door with no reason.

And so many lies in between.

 

But if I drunk dialled your number,

Would you pick up the phone?

I know I should know better and leave well enough alone.

But could you tell me the truth,

Are you better off without?

Oh Henry, I’m a little bit drunk can you help me out?

 

You broke my heart,

But isn’t that how all good love stories start?

The hero always finds a way to stop them falling apart,

And in the end, they all ride off in to the sunset.

 

‘Cause if I drunk dialled your number,

I’d tell you the truth.

That I’ve been counting off the days, since I lost you.

It’s not healthy or helping but what am I to do?

Oh Henry, you cheated on me said yourself you’ll never be true,

Oh Henry, I’m a little bit drunk and I still love you.

 

I’m a little bit drunk,

I’ve had one too many, can you pick me up?

TABLE FOR ONE

Table for two, please but only one place setting.

It’s time we had that conversation I’ve been letting bring me down.
Soft drink for me, please, ‘Cause alcohol makes me dizzy,

And I need to think clearly as I off-road inside my mind.

 

Because I need closure,

I need to let go of what I’ve let get a hold of me.

Living rent free in a space I’ve not been so friendly to recently. 

 

It’s time I sat down with myself and cleared the cobwebs off my mental health,

And start taking care of me.

I know I’ve been hurt but I’m so much stronger than this,

Given so much hope that I’ve misplaced and love gone to waste.

Lets find my olive branch by planting the seeds, 

I’m doing this for me.

 

Time to cut loose, from the strings that hold me back.

Have also weighed me down, played heavy with my mind.

I’m taking a step back, from the the person I once was.

I can’t keep running just because I’m afraid of what I’ll find.

 

‘Cause I’ve been bought down to my knees, 

Doesn’t mean I won’t come back fighting.

For what it is that I believe,

But I gotta learn to walk ‘fore I get running.

And maybe I’m not meant to know or understand all the answers,

Or get a happy ever after.

FOOLS PARADISE

She use to laugh with anyone and everyone surrounded her,

She had one of those smiles that would reach her eyes and just go one and on, on and on.

But in broad daylight someone stole her smile. 

And she sings…

 

I took a chance in fools paradise and now I’ve paid the price,

Learn from me, take my advice I’ve looked death in the eyes.

Love is my vice.

 

They thought she had it all, and then some, more than enough to leave their small town behind.

But as the cracks start to form and her crown starts to fall, she cried out for help only to find.

There was no one there to save her from her own damn mind.

Alone she sings… 

 

Alone she stands, still with a smile on her face,

But her fingers crossed behind her back.

All the while she sings…

 

I had one of those smiles that would reach my eyes and now feels out of place.
