Paranoia Lyrics by Claire Ernst

Answer Me.

2019

[Intro]
Okay, one more time
(Okay, let's go)
[Verse 1]
You bought me roses on a Monday
No one'd done that before
And I'll admit that they looked great
But little did I know they had thorns
You bought a fifty-dollar bottle of champagne
And said it's just for fun
Even though we got bills to pay
At the end of the month
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that you have the best intentions
But instinctively I put up defenses
[Chorus]
I'm surrounded by this paranoia
I won't ever let myself truly get to know ya
I really want to love you, but I'm scared to show ya
I wish I didn't feel this way
I wish that I could start to open up a little
I wish this inner battle was a bit more civil
And hopefully one day I'll finally be committal
And won't be in a middle of my paranoia
[Refrain]
Paranoia
I wish I didn't feel this way
[Verse 2]
I don't know I just always seems to happen
When I get comfortable
Starting to become a bad habit
Overthinking everything that I've been told
Then, I got a twenty-dollar bottle of Rosé
And drinking by myself
Try to drown my doubts away
But it didn't help
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that you have the best intentions
But instinctively I put up defenses
[Chorus]
I'm surrounded by this paranoia
I won't ever let myself truly get to know ya
I really want to love you, but I'm scared to show ya
I wish I didn't feel this way
I wish that I could start to open up a little
I wish this inner battle was a bit more civil
And hopefully one day I'll finally be committal
And won't be in a middle of my paranoia
[Refrain]
Paranoia
I wish I didn't feel this way
