Paradise Island
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
You ran too far from home
Ain't been to a city like this
Yeah this town will crush you
(if you let it, if you let it)
I'm tired of watching you drown
You breathing in too fast
God, girl take your time
Till you ready, till you ready
You ain't ready no you ain't ready
You tryna run a ship that ain't steady
I would've shown you how
You didn't let me in
Said you don't want me to
Go down with this ship
I'm tired of watching you drown
You breathing in too deep
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
Little Dee on a tiptoe
With a little yellow lasso
Wrapped around her neck
She tryna run from her world
But the shadow won't let go
No wonder a woman like you
Given time and a broken heart too
Can find peace in the sweetest taboo
Nothing left on this side, this side for you
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
You ran too far from home
Ain't been to a city like this
Yeah this town will crush you
(if you let it, if you let it)
I'm tired of watching you drown
You breathing in too fast
God, girl take your time
Till you ready, till you ready
You ain't ready no you ain't ready
You tryna run a ship that ain't steady
I would've shown you how
You didn't let me in
Said you don't want me to
Go down with this ship
I'm tired of watching you drown
You breathing in too deep
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
Little Dee on a tiptoe
With a little yellow lasso
Wrapped around her neck
She tryna run from her world
But the shadow won't let go
No wonder a woman like you
Given time and a broken heart too
Can find peace in the sweetest taboo
Nothing left on this side, this side for you
Your mother's eyes are filled with grief
This barren land is all she sees
Life cannot grow where man has been
But inside you, you still believe
In love, in love, in love
