Just Like Paradise

You wake me in the middle of the night

You hit me with your tear stained pillow

Why do you have to start a fight?

Why can't you let me sleep in peace?

You're not the only one who cares

You're not the only one who shares those memories

Don't be selfish

Grow up and let me be

Why do you have to haunt my dreams?

Why do you think that you're so much better than me?

You're one man, not an army

Don't let your ego call victory

Everything you've ever done

You say is better than anyone else could ever do

You truly are the king

But all you've got is you

Your pile of riches

Is all you'll ever have

There's no one there to give a damn

When you're feeling bad

You look down on the world upon you

Think everyone is beneath you

But anyone can tell

You're nothing but a human shell

It's too bad you can't see

The trouble you cause with your inability

Your stupid house and your stupid car

But money only goes so far

One day you'll die alone

No great job and no more home

You'll have to leave it all behind

Never had a thing because you were so blind

Your crazy world will close in on you

Maybe it's not too late to see

When your final night has come upon you

You'll still think you're better than me

Your pile of riches

Is all you'll ever have

There's no one there to give a damn

When you're feeling sad

You look down at the world below you

Think everyone's beneath you

But anyone can tell

You're nothing but a wasted human shell
