Lyrics
THE BLUE SIDE OF PARADISE
Music & Lyrics by Rhett Davis
VERSE 1
YOU CAME TO ME LIKE A MIDNIGHT SUN
BURNING THROUGH THE DARKNESS IN MY SOUL
{I TRIED TO WALK BUT I COULD NOT} RUN
YOU HELD ME UP THEN THREW ME DOWN
PRE-CHORUS
YOU LOVED ME AND YOU NEEDED ME
{AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I}THOUGHT
WHEN YOU MADE ME FEEL SO FREE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD COST {CAUSE ON THE}
CHORUS:
BLUE SIDE OF PARADISE
THE COLORS HERE (THEY) DO NOT SHINE SO BRIGHT
THE FIRE THAT WAS BLAZING HOT IS {COLD AND TURNED TO} ICE
HERE ON THE BLUE SIDE OF PARADISE
VERSE 2
(I WAS) FLYING FAST ON A SLOW SPEED STAR
DIDN'T KNOW YOUR LOVE WAS GONE UNTIL IT WAS
YOU PATCHED ME UP BUT I CAME APART
CAUSE YOU LEFT SOMETHINGS UNDONE
PRE-CHORUS
YOU LOVED ME AND YOU NEEDED ME
I THOUGHT THAT PART WAS TRUE
BUT THERE WERE LINES I COULD'NT SEE
GUESS I CROSSED A FEW {AND ON THE}
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
SLIDING DOWN THIS UPHILL FIGHT, CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE THE GRADE
SO IT'S PROBABLY A BLESSING I CAN STAY
{HERE ON THE}
CHORUS:
BLUE SIDE OF PARADISE
THE COLORS HERE DON'T SHINE BUT THEY'RE MINE
THE FIRE THAT WAS BURNING HOT IS {COLD AND TURNED TO} ICE
HERE ON THE BLUE SIDE OF PARADISE
