Lyrics

Paper

you said, “Life is but a joke, I think now.”
I said, “Then I think you better think that over.”
well now, you tell me “Life is but a hard laugh.”
time out
I think you better sit down

“No way!” you scream at me like I can’t hear you
“Someday you’ll see for yourself how life can treat you.”
“Go away!”
don’t want to listen to this anymore

well I’m not someone you can throw around
like paper you throw in the wind
I know you care still why don’t you share
those parts of you you hid from view

O.K. if failure means the end of trying
you say, “I think I get your point now
but it’s too late
get outta my sight”

well I’m not someone you can throw around
like paper you throw in the wind
I know you care still why don’t you share
those parts of you you hid from you

I know I’m not quite
the perfect friend sometimes
but don’t get down on me
I’m only human
