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 bleedin'
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
Choking on the air in Eden
'Cause life in Eden changed
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?"
'Cause life in Eden
Life in Eden changed
Life in Eden changed
Life in Eden changed
