Paperboy

You went from being him to being you

that night when you told me the truth

You hid your face inside your hands and cried

and told me that you once wanted to die

I went from being me to being her

the very moment you let out those words

the unknown the unspoken the unseen

I'm not your lover not your friend but something in between

"What you are afraid of has already taken place

it will never hurt that much again

The sense of being marked of having fallen out of grace

these feelings are just echoes from back then"

Paperboy

I'll never let you fall

I know that she abandoned you back then

the girl who was your lover and your friend

Your secret does not scare me a bit you see

I once defeated that same sorrow inside me

"What you are afraid of..."

Paperboy

I'll never let you fall
