Pen and Paper Lyrics

Tell me when did I get so obsessed

With finding clever rhymes instead

Of making sure I'm fine

'Cause now I fake it all the time

And tell me when my thoughts became so loud

Can't feel what's real, I drown them out

Now they're all set to chords

And lyrics, that's all I know anymore

And now I can't even cry without grabbing a pen and paper

Can't feel the highs without writing them down for later

Can't close my eyes 'cause then I might miss it

The story that I could be making it big with

I can't think of you without capitalizing on it

Can't feel the blue unless I sit here and write about it

So does it matter if it's fact or it's fiction

The story that I could be making it big with

Tell me when did I just lose my way

Once said there's blue beyond the gray

Now all I seem to find

Is endless dark above the sky

And tell me when'd I go from feeling small

To feeling nothing now

And smiles and tears all seem so far away

How long can I afford to wait

And now I can't even cry without grabbing a pen and paper

Can't feel the highs without writing them down for later

Can't close my eyes 'cause then I might miss it

The story that I could be making it big with

I can't think of you without capitalizing on it

Can't feel the blue unless I sit here and write about it

So does it matter if it's fact or it's fiction

The story that I could be making

Maybe I just wanna be alone

Maybe I just wanna let myself feel low

Maybe I just wanna go

Somewhere that you'll never ever know

Maybe I don't wanna be alright

Maybe I just wanna be out of sight

Maybe I just wanna cry

Somewhere that you'll never ever find

But now I can't even cry without grabbing a pen and paper

Can't feel the highs without writing them down for later

Can't close my eyes 'cause I might miss it

The story that I could be making it big with

I can't think of you without capitalizing on it

Can't feel the blue unless I sit here and write about it

So does it matter if it's fact or it's fiction

The story that I could be making it big with

Does it matter if it's fact or it's fiction

Just as long as it's keeping your interest
