Paper Thin

I guess I never found the right time did I

To tell you I'm sorry I gave up

But until you're broken

You don't know what you're made of

There's a part of me that you'll never know

A filthy lie that I'm keeping close

Cuts at the skin and it's sinking in

How deep it goes

And there's a piece of you that I'll never see

Between the lines and found underneath

Of these calloused eyes, yours and mine

But it never shows

I was a broken wreck, lost in noise

Pulled me out and I found my voice

You told me once and I won't forget

You don't pull a punch, the fly south effect

And I'll face it down, not like you

The only way out is a way through

So put a hand up if you've had enough

And it's time to choose

I guess I never found the right time did I

To tell you I'm sorry I gave up

But until you're broken

You don't know what you're made of

I feel my heart caving in

This line I'm walking is paper thin

And it's hard to hide the scar beneath the skin

Cause I've been burned and broke

And I wanted out, but I'm better now

And I know I won't be giving in

Yeah, I can't help the way that I sound

Or the fact you're not around

But you told me once before you left

How to live my life out loud

You can hide in the dark, but they'll never know you

Or speak your mind and they'll never own you

It won't bring you back or the time we had

But I hope it shows you

It goes

We've been waiting

From the top of the world

I can see where the sky breaks

Until you're lost in the dark

You don't look for the way

I guess I never found the right time did I

To tell you I'm sorry I gave up

But until you're broken

You don't know what you're made of
