The best of me, I'm weak and I don't how to be anything
More its honestly killing me loving is slowing me I'm weak
From the fear I cant avoid I'm paranoid. paranoid the seas are
Are open you put your life out on the floor, paranoid are trust is broken and your the innocent in the world you ask me if I'm alright I see the love in your smile I wanna change but I
Tricking me getting the best of me I'm weak and
I don't know how to be anything more
Its honestly killing me loving is slowing me
I'm weak from the fear I cant avoid

Every were that I run every corner I turn its chasing me , but the walls I put up all the
Barriers of love they only keep you away from me
Keep you away from me
And I don't know how to feel anything less than jealousy
Tricking me getting the best of me
I'm weak (ohh)
And I don't know how to be anything more its honestly
Killing me loving is slowing me I'm weak I'm weak and I don't
Know how to how to be anything less than jealousy
Tricking me getting the best of me, I'm weak from fear
I cant avoid I'm paranoid

The lyrics of Shanica Knowles's song "Paranoid" explore the emotional turmoil of someone who is struggling with jealousy and paranoia in a romantic relationship. The singer feels as though her partner's actions and words are all lies that make her into someone she doesn't want to be. Despite seeing the love in her partner's smile, the singer is unable to shake the feelings of jealousy that are consuming her, and she feels weak and helpless as a result. The chorus repeats the word "paranoid" like a mantra, emphasizing the singer's inability to escape her feelings of distrust and suspicion.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that her own walls and barriers might be keeping her partner away from her. She recognizes that her jealousy is tricking her and getting the best of her, but she doesn't know how to be anything other than paranoid.

The lyrics of "Paranoid" are a raw and honest reflection of the pain and confusion that can arise when trust issues infect a romantic relationship.
