Paramore

Songwriter: Hayley Williams

[Verse 1]
There's an empty room
At the end of the hall
And it's begging to
Swallow you whole

[Verse 2]
Each step you take
Makes it easier to
Fall on your face
Each tear you fake
Makes it easier to
See straight through you, now

[Chorus]
And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Far from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love

[Verse 3]
So you hang yourself
From stolen dreams
And under the table, you hide
Every stain

[Verse 4]
Each step you take
(Getting closer)
Makes it easier to
Fall on your face
Each death you fake
(Getting closer)
Makes it easier to
Live this way
Hey, now

[Chorus]
And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Far from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love

[Verse 5]
Watch it disappear
The dream you hold so dear
Let it fade
(Let it fade)
Let it fade
(Let it fade)
Let it fade
(Let it fade)
Now

[Chorus]
And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Far from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love

And you're so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Far from somewhere above
Just to say you're in love

[Outro]
Just to say you're in love

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
