Paranoid

My phone would blow up, every time I left the room
Who you texting, baby? Tell me who's erasing the Moon?
Couldn't have a conversation, without a third degree
Every glance a secret message, a hidden enemy

Walks in the park turned into missions undercover
Friends were spies in waiting, plotting schemes from another cover
He built a fortress 'round us, made of doubt and insecurity
Love turned into a hostage, locked away with his key

Paranoid, paranoid, you were a one-man CIA
Every whisper a threat, every stranger a display
Had me walking on eggshells, tiptoeing through your mind
Paranoid, paranoid, a love so hard to find

Changed my passwords weekly, just to keep the peace at bay
Dinner dates with girlfriends turned into nights of where'd you stray?
My hobbies turned suspicious, my laugh a hidden code
Living with a detective, a love story so out of vogue

Nights turned into interrogations, with a spotlight in my eyes
Couldn't wear that dress, too revealing, fueled by his jealous lies
He built a labyrinth of shadows, where trust just couldn't tread
Love suffocated by suspicion, a love left for dead

Paranoid, paranoid, you were a one-man CIA
Every whisper a threat, every stranger a display
Had me walking on eggshells, tiptoeing through your mind
Paranoid, paranoid, a love so hard to find

So I packed my bags one morning, left a note on the door
Said, thanks for the memories, but this love ain't working anymore
Freedom tastes like sunshine, laughter fills the air
No more mind games and accusations, a love without a care

Paranoid, paranoid, you can keep your CIA
Every whisper's a breeze, every stranger's okay
Now I dance in the sunshine, with a smile on my face
Paranoid, paranoid, found a love that's out of place

Out of place, out of your mind, finally free, finally mine
