Eden

[Produced by John O'Mahony, Kurt Uenala and Sara Bareilles] [Verse 1] Let me paint a picture for you then I’'ll have to teach you to see it Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in Eden Rolled a lucky pair of dice, ended up paradise Landed on a snake’s eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding [Hook] You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name The truth is all those angels started acting the same And I know there’'s no going back now cause Life in Eden Life in Eden changed No way to make the pain play fair It doesn’'t disappear just because you say it isn’t there So when they ask why’d she go you can say cause Life in Eden Life in Eden changed Life in Eden changed [Verse 2] Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me That what is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy Idolized my innocence, stole it from me in the end Now I’'m wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me [Hook] [Verse 3] There was a time when I was taking all bets That this place was even better than as good as it gets And now looking back from the outside in I think I was choking on the air in Eden [Hook]
