[melodic piano riff intro]
[melodic piano riff intro]
[Verse 1]
I arrived in this place of dreams,
Promised skies and golden beams,
But you left, yeah, you retired,
Now I'm caught in this tangled wire,
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m, wondering why, wondering how,
You handed me this crown,
I was just a kid, yeah, just a child,
Now I’m trying to hold it down,
[Chorus]
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling? (calling, calling)
I’m not ready, (ready, ready)
Why'd you leave me? (leave me, leave me)
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling, (calling, calling)
[instrumental solo]
[Verse 2]
Bathed in glories, lost in splendor,
But your silence, it makes me shiver,
What if I fail, what if I break?
All your hard work, a big mistake,
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m, holding tight, holding on,
To the dreams you’ve spun,
Was it a plan, was it a test?
Or did you simply run?
[Chorus]
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling? (calling, calling)
I’m not ready, (ready, ready)
Why'd you leave me? (leave me, leave me)
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling, (calling, calling)
[Bridge]
Oh, I’m just a kid, in this grand facade,
Left to guard the gates, feelin' like a fraud,
Was it your plan to see if I’d thrive?
Or just a cruel twist in this paradise?
Or just a cruel twist in this paradise?
[instrumental solo]
[Chorus]
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling? (calling, calling)
I’m not ready, (ready, ready)
Why'd you leave me? (leave me, leave me)
Paradise falling, (falling, falling)
Can you hear me calling, (calling, calling)
[Outro]
Oh, paradise, paradise,
Why'd you leave me in this vice?
Falling, falling, falling,
Can you hear me calling?
[End]
