Lost in Paradise
Rihanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What am I supposed to do with this heart?
How do I take it off, if the love ain't on? It's like a work of art
In love we all will fall but, we fell a little harder
What am I supposed to do with this heart?

It may be wrong but it feels right, to be lost in paradise

I'm so lost in paradise
If I open up my eyes
I can see the storm, I can see the sky
I can see the darkness flashing lights
All my fears, don't deny
Let me stay, I'm lost in paradise

How was I to know that my love was delusional?
Somebody tell me how to mend a broken-hearted soul
In love we all will fall but, we fell a little harder
What am I supposed to do with this heart?

It may be wrong but it feels right, to be lost in paradise

I'm so lost in paradise (lost in paradise)
If I open up my eyes
I can see the storm, I can see the sky
I can see the darkness flashing lights
All my fears, don't deny
Let me stay, I'm lost in paradise

It may be wrong but it feels right
All my fears are gone tonight
I'm lost in paradise

I'm so lost in paradise (lost in paradise)
If I open up my eyes
I can see the storm, I can see the sky
I can see the darkness flashing lights
All my fears, don't deny
Let me stay, I'm lost in paradise

Lost in paradise
Yeah, lost in paradise
Lost in paradise

How do I take it off, if the love ain't on? It's like a work of art
