Paradox

You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
(This love is a paradox)
You're the only thing that almost killed me

Just like a desert needs a flood
I still need your love
No matter what, I hold my ground
Even if I'm drowning, yeah

It's just the nature of keeping you close
It's the ones you care for that will hurt you the most
Nothing drops me from so high
You leave me fighting for my life

Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me, yeah

(This life is a paradox)
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
(This love is a paradox)
You're the only thing that almost killed me

Yeah, you kiss me when I'm down
And you suck the poison out
Then you make me sick again
'Cause you've got the medicine

It's just the nature of loving you girls
It's the ones you fight for that will conquer your world, ooh

Out of all the times I've opened up
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
Out of all the stupid things I've done
You're the only thing that almost killed me

(This life is a paradox)
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
(This love is a paradox)
You're the only thing that almost killed me
(This life is a paradox)
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
(This love is a paradox)
You're the only thing that almost killed me

(This life is a paradox)
I'm bracing for the worst
And hoping for the best
(This love is a paradox)
Trying to make sense of
The madness in my head
(This life is a paradox)

It's the problem with keeping me close
The people you hold on to
(This love is a paradox)
Are the ones who let go

(This life is a paradox)
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
(This love is a paradox)
You're the only thing that almost killed me

(You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah)
(You're the only thing that almost killed me)
