I never knew you were standing on this shore.
It says everything. Explains everything.
And then from then on it couldn't be just like before.
It says everything, changes everything.

So don't just stand there wishing life would fade away.
Don't you go around with anyone that makes you feel ashamed.

Good and bad paradise.
I hope that someday you could try.
Good and bad just some change that you give it all away.
Goodbye, goodbye.

Saw your face in a faded light.
Said everything, explained everything.

In home saw you dazed and it comes to you a lie.
You did everything, blamed anything.

But don't you cut those ribbons to take away the pain.
Don't you go around with that same old crowd
That makes you feel ashamed.

Good and bad paradise.
I hope that someday you could try.
Good and bad just some change that you give it all away.
Goodbye, goodbye paradise.

The sea doesn't just exists.
Grays everything, crushes everything
Cleans everything, takes everything from me.
