Vanessa Carlton - Paradise Lyrics
once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight... to fight
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies
are reasons to survive
a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light... her light
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
it's one more day in paradise
one last chance to feel alright... alright
don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
don't you try to hold it in you hold it in
[chorus]
once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been

Vanessa Carlton Paradise Comments
Her Instagram says new album coming 2020
Greetings please reply.
I always thought she was Hindi.
Such a good song 👌
My parents are now gone. This is a good tune. It fits. One last chance.
I was 10 when I memorized every song in this album. This shaped my "comfort music".. Somber instrumental. I miss those days when the lryics didn't make sense to me yet, back then i only knew i like the melody & her voice and it comforted me in a sense that i was so familiar with it already. Almost 20 years later, her songs still comfort me. But its sad how I can now relate with the somber lyrics. 💔
Love it. Almost happy that this song didn't quite make it. Makes it more mine.
So 8 people are soul-less HUH?
I sang this song to my health class during the mental health portion of class no one left the room with a dry eye
Dead alive :(
Great song ,great album
Why can't music be like this still
AM I THE ONLY BLACK GUY HERE? LOL. LOVE THIS SONG & VANESSA CARLTON <3
No man, you are not! I got hip to other genres than our own, a long time ago(High school in the 90's, I am early 30's now). It started out with Linkin Park and Limbizit to Blink 182, Coldplay, Deathcab for cutie and so on....I appreciate the depth Vanessa has in her music; great lyrics that speak something and make you want to hear every word to the message or story or experience she is interpreting.
No man I’m here lol shout out bro lol
MRVOCALSTV im with U Bro. Vanessa is really sumthing special...
MRVOCALSTV nope I been in love with her since I was like 14.almost 30 now
Marry me
can't listen to this without crying
Me too...it makes me remember someone who I really really miss...
This song seems very film-noirish some how
i feel like slitting my rist lol jp. i know its not funny but it do give that vibe
Lord.....this song reminds me of Joseph..........And brings back so many memories......changed my life once..........beautiful song....hits my heart too deep
Am I the only one for who this song is almost the same in the vibes than " 9 crimes " of Damien Rice ??
I miss Vanessa Carlton. I wish she'd release a new album. She's underrated.
she will on october 22
There is mention she wrote about stopping dancing, but I wonder if any of this song is related to being trapped in the life of a heterosexual since she has recently come out? I LOVE VANESSA. Her music could be a bit more powerful, but very emotional. Wish she was still making hits.
She wrote this about depression...
I feel like Vanessa Carlton and Lana Del Rey have similar style.
I thought that too at some point , but Vanessa goes more into depth with her music. Vanessa's music carries you deeply into your thoughts while Lana Del Rey's music is more light yet emotional.
Great song!!!! Classic!!!! :)
one of the first cds i bought when i was 13 or 14 .... now hearing this song again ...never thought that this song would describe my life .....how lyrics what seemed a bit to dark then are now reality ...
im 23 now and i feel the same... when i was young i would listen to her CD before sleep.... i would feel the emotion even as a young girl...
rev me to one of my first cds as a kid around 14
Even when I was a kid and this song came out, I knew she was describing a person dying...This song I couldn't help but listen to but be a bit disturbed for that fact...
To fight
She slowly swallows all her fear
used to cry to this song all the time in middle school jeez.
Same going into freshman year. This will ALWAYS be one of my favorites.
Very Sad Song. I like her voice ; since few days i listen it loop "One more day in paradise... One last chance to feel alright... alright"
cool profile picture o-o sorry js xD
This song is so sad. The only song she's written about how heartbroken Nessa was when she stopped dancing and missed it.
Amen Barbelo
everytime she closed her eyes she saw what could have been ♥
Beauty Piece <3
the orchestra arrangement is so powerful just like rinse!
γνωστός και αγαπημένος
π=3.14?
Μεγάλη Σοφία, πόσο καιρό πρέπει να έχω προβλέψουν
dark beauty overwhelms me. daily. i wish i was not but i am. so i can, and i will.
