On Paper Lyrics

Two hearts

Too close but too far

Lost, now, deep in the dark

Both caught up in the past

Maybe it's not meant to last

Two minds

Changing all the time

Can't read between the lines

Too far gone to take it all back or leave it all behind

Cause it was so perfect on paper

But I guess that stories change

And that words they fade

And it won't get better

Cause I'm barely coping

Just sat here hoping

That I can rewrite all these words

And I can erase all the hurt

But the perfect on paper fades

And I can't read the book with half a page

Her, him, and she's so in love

But he cannot be the one

They act close but he's so far

And he just leaves her in the dark

Too much, she can't sleep at night

Don't know if she'll be alright

Eyes open, her mind starts to wander and she starts wonder

Cause they were so perfect on paper

But they don't belong

Cause he treats her wrong

And she hopes that later

The page will turn

And she will learn

That she could find somebody better

If they weren't stuck here together

But the perfect on paper fades

And she can't read the book with half a page

So where do you go

When you can't find a home

And you've lost all control?

I don't know, I don't know

I'll just write it on paper

And save it for later

And hope that later

I will finally know

How my story goes

Cause it was so perfect on paper

But it just weren't meant to be

And I hope that later

I'll be somebody that you want to read

And I can write down my own words

Cause it may take time but I'll heal from the hurt

And the perfect on paper fades

But I'll write my own perfect on the page
