ONE PARADISE PREVENTS ANOTHER

I’m happy it worked out the way it did.
Yes it hurt me to lose my lover.
But look what happened.
One paradise prevents another.

It could have been nice for them, working
for themselves. But I would have been afraid.
But look what happened.
They missed out. But I’m glad they stayed.

In a matter of hours, those who wanted change
now hope things remain as they are.
But look what happened.
One paradise prevents another.

The crowds crowded in. I thought the doors
were going to break. I thought they were here.
But look what happened.
One paradise prevents another.

I’m glad you stayed! That you’re with me.
That you didn’t move in with your mother.
The apples you eat are the apples with me.
One paradise prevents another.
