Eden - Sara Bareilles

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

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

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 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

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

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

When they ask why’d she go you

Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

Life in Eden changed

Life in Eden changed
