Irreconcilable Paradox
I gave you the words
You made them superb
We're the top most team
I wrote winning songs
Your voice made them strong
Fame came from your dream
( - - C H O R U S - -)
... So it's you who'll perform
A bypass on me
Ripped out and torn
By your celebrity
You relish the chase
Ready for next face
Devouring your fame
. .. Do you remember me saying ...
You bring the words to me
Nothing was spared in them
Lyrics lay everything bare
Love notes sent from me
Soared your popularity
You waited for the next
I wrote us in those stories
Only you claimed the glory
... What do you expect...
( - - C H O R U S - -)
... So it's you who'll perform
a bypass on me
Ripped out and torn
By your celebrity
You're top of your game
Pop star misbehaving
I sit in the shade
... Do you remember me saying...
You bring the words to me
Everything exposed....
You sing the words in me
To strangers, something we made
( - - BRIDGE - -)
Words the World has never heard
I put them into your mouth
Fame has raised you, but I made you
And you have closed me out
Celebrity stole your care
Hunting here, pausing there
Let me bring the lines to life...
Why can't I touch your soul?
Authenticity you'll never know.
Love like this won't come twice....
( repeat first part of Chorus several times )
