Fools Paradise
MAY-A Lyrics

Sitting in the cafe, I'll be sitting in the past
The singer is reminiscing about the past while sitting in a cafe.

You'll leave me in the morning so I don't choke on the dark
The singer's partner will leave in the morning, so the singer doesn't fall into despair.

Thinking 'bout my future like it's really gonna last
The singer is contemplating their future, although they're uncertain about its longevity.

Thinking 'bout my future like I never had a past
The singer is imagining their future as if they've had no past experiences.

Pass around my body like it's all just made of glass
The singer feels vulnerable and perceptible to harm.

Pass around my body like it's all just gonna crack
The singer feels like their body is fragile and delicate.

Think you're gonna break me, but you're dumb for thinking that
The singer's partner wants to break them, but the singer feels like they will overcome the attempt.

Think you're gonna break me, but I'll always break you back
Even if the singer's partner tries to break them, the singer will always retaliate.

I deserve to be alone
The singer believes that they should be alone.

I broke my only home
The singer caused the end of their relationship and lost their home in the process.

You were my home
The singer's partner was their home.

You were a fool's paradise
The singer's partner seemed like an idyllic partner, but it was just an illusion.

You were my favourite place to be, a home away from home
The singer loved being with their partner and considered them a second home.

You are my best reality, I let it all go broke
The singer's partner was the best thing to happen to them, but now they've lost everything.

Always feels like I've just fallen deep
The singer is constantly overwhelmed by their feelings.

I know I'm on my own
The singer accepts that they're alone.

I was just learnin' how to breathe
The singer was just starting to feel alive and happy before it all fell apart.

And now I'm drowning, oh
The singer feels like they're sinking and can't rise to the surface.

Tonight I'll forget everything, don't wanna be alone
The singer plans to distract themselves and forget their problems tonight.

Disregard responsibilities, I've turned off all my phones
The singer won't focus on responsibilities and has disconnected from the outside world.

We all make mistakes in life, some hurt and some just don't
Everyone makes mistakes, some more painful than others.

It's good to make mistakes in life, you'll learn all on your own
Mistakes help people learn and grow on their own.

Guess I was a fool for you
The singer realizes they were foolish for their partner.

If this world is cruel to you, I've got nothing new for you
The singer can't offer any comfort or solutions if their partner is struggling in this cruel world.
