Paper Thin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know you'll never see
The way things were, the way they'll be
Because both ways look the same
And I can't block the thought
That you're still here, and that's not your fault
There's no one left to blame
You never touch the breeze
You just pick your time to leave
You never saw the sun, you never needed faith
They're only paper thin, the walls that keep us safe
You never touch the breeze, you never felt the cold
It's only paper thin, a life we try to hold
You don't do 'going back'
And blaming fate you don't do that
You take it as it's served
And you just sit and wait
Absorb the news and tell things straight
It's more than we deserve
You never felt so old
You just need a hand to hold
You never saw the sun, you never needed faith
They're only paper thin, the walls that keep us safe
You never touch the breeze, you never felt the cold
It's only paper thin, a life we try to hold
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
You never saw the sun, you never needed faith
They're only paper thin, the walls that keep us safe
You never touch the breeze, you never felt the cold
It's only paper thin, a life we try to hold
Paper thin
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never touch the breeze
You just pick your time to leave
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never felt so old
You just need a hand to hold
You' ve given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never touch the breeze
You just pick your time to leave
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never felt so old
You just need a hand to hold
