I know I should think everything's okay
As far as I can tell, everything's going my way
They always see me smile
But no one takes a while
To wonder 'bout what's going on inside
I'm not alone
But I'm alone
I'm in paradise
But just don't feel at home
I make all the right turns
But I still crash and burn
I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way
But I do
But I do
I know I've got it better than it seems
Family, grades, stability, an American dream
I've got a privileged life
Yet my mind bears knives
Slicing through the good things gone awry
I'm not alone
But I'm alone
I'm in paradise
But just don't feel at home
I make all the right turns
But I still crash and burn
I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way
But I do
But I do
I've got a talent for the worst
And always end up getting hurt
Why can't I know that it's okay?
I'm always finding negatives
And telling lies I can't forgive
Will I ever see the truth?
I'm not alone
But I'm alone
I'm in paradise
But just don't feel at home
I make all the right turns
Yet I just crash and burn
I tell myself I shouldn't feel this way
But I do
But I do
