Melanie Martinez - PARIDA [ai extended by suqarplxm on youtube]

To Rate
Felt alone in this world
Watching and yearning as
‘Round me friendships unfurled
Love I hoped I’d be learning
Then you fell from the stars
Glowing with joy to know me
Grasped a hold of my heart
Then shredded it to pieces

Post-Chorus
Parida, pa-pa-pari-da
Pa-pa-parida, pari-da
Pa-pa-parida, pa-pa-pari-da
Pa-pa-parida, pari-da

Lured me into your trap
Hook, line and sinker
I jumped into your net
Chasing affirmation
Felt like I had no worth but you made me
Feel like I was deserving
CPI, was so numb from all of the
Hurt that you had been causing

Went down the wrong path
I was too blind to see the
Vivid crimson flags
Completely oblivious
The bridge has fallеn
There is no going back
My old self is shattеred
Can’t put her back together

Got me used to it, then brought deficit
Starved so ill, thought that I was ending
Then came back again, had motivation
To go forward, “was overreacting”
All the while, my stability was
Crumbling, ‘bout time for rebuilding
Recycled and, jumping back again
New and improved, my parida

Pa-pa-parida, pa-pa-pari-da
Pa-pa-parida, pari-da
New and improved, my parida
Pa-pa-parida, pa-pa-pari-ida
Pa-pa-parida, pari-da
New and improved, my

Opportune time, when I hurt bad
It was so easy for you to grab it
Dagger pointing right at my back
It wasn’t hard for you just to stab it
Slathered oil all over my heart
Struck a match, I quickly turned to ashes
Built myself back, now my soul’s art
Turn my back on my past when I-I

Went down the wrong path
I was too blind to see that
I would be shattered
Can’t put me back together

Got me used to it, then brought deficit
Starved so ill, thought that I was ending
Then came back again, had motivation
To go forward, “was overreacting”
All the while, my stability was
Crumbling, ‘bout time for rebuilding
C recycled and jumping back again
New and improved, my parida

You bu-bu-buried me up
Six feet deep in the mud
Now crawling from it, I rise like a lotus
You bu-bu-built me up
Knocked me down with one touch
But I’ve bloomed from it, my body’s a lotus

Pa-pa-parida, pa-pa-pari-ida
Pa-pa-parida, pari-ida ah (new and improved, my parida)
Pa-pa-parida, pa-pa-pari-ida
Pa-pa-parida, pari-ida ah (new and improved, my)
Parida
