Thought I had it all, I was playing with fire
Feeling like a superstar couldn't get any higher
Never thought I'd fall for my deepest desires
Pushed me up against the wall till I hit rock bottom

Oh every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe
Ooh don't want your crown
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise
I am drowning in paradise

Through my inner dust tryna find my way home
(When I got) nothing left to give, I was on my own

What was I worth now, no nobody knows
They kept on using my heart and my soul
I keep on pushing emotions away
I don't wanna face all the pain

Oh every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe
Ooh don't want your crown (don't want your crown)
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise
I am drowning in paradise

Like I'm drowning in paradise
(Ooh)
Every time I dream
No, you can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
Paradise
Paradise

Every time I dream
You can't hold me down
'Cause none of it is real
I am drowning in paradise
You don't let me breathe
Ooh don't want your crown
'Cause I don't wanna feel
Like I'm drowning in paradise

Let me breathe (let me breathe)
I am drowning in paradise
