[Verse 1]

I'll try to pick up the pieces

I'm fine if you don't believe it

Unfold and smooth out the creases

Is my addiction repeating?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I told you

That I was better off that way

'Cause I told you

That I would stop it yesterday

[Chorus]

I'm pulling back the shades while I'm alive

I'm coming up with shakes in paradise

I'm trying to escape your cyanide

And if I slip away, I'll surely die

[Post-Chorus]

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

[Verse 2]

Half-blind eyes on the ceiling

I'll lie about my bereavement

Washed out lines on the beaches

Is my addiction repeating?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I told you

That I was better off that way

'Cause I told you

That I would stop it yesterday

[Chorus]

I'm pulling back the shades while I'm alive

I'm coming up with shakes in paradise

I'm trying to escape your cyanide

And if I slip away, I'll surely die

[Post-Chorus]

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

[Chorus]

I'm pulling back the shades while I'm alive

I'm coming up with shakes in paradise

I'm trying to escape your cyanide

And if I slip away, I'll surely die

[Post-Chorus]

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

And I'm giving you up

And I'm giving you up again

[Outro]

I'm pulling back the shades while I'm alive

I'm coming up with shakes in paradise
