Paradise Island - Paradise Island lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Little Dee on a tiptoe With a little yellow la**o 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 [Chorus] 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
