Paper Birds Lyrics

Woke up in a daze like I have been most days

Tryin’ to wrap my brain ‘cause I'm currently insane

Is it best to pour it down the drain ‘cause

I'm hurting, I'm hurting

Whiskey lips tellin' me it's ok

Just a dream. Wake up it's new day

Closed eyes to see that you've stayed

I'm hurting, I'm hurting

Why do we have words

If you fold them into paper birds

Whose meanings just fly away

I tried to be yours

But all you preferred was

Someone to burn and carry all the weight

You were my everything

But now you're nothing but a bad dream

Made me your broken thing

Tear me apart, I am your nothing

Cried enough tears, can I make a layaway?

Hoping that I can pick up my sanity one day

Before you burn it all away

You're taking, keep taking

My light from my sunshine

Breeze from my summer rays

Leaves from my trees

Weekends with no Saturdays

I poured into you all I have

Yet you're empty, still empty

Why do we have words

If you fold them into paper birds

Whose meanings just fly away

I tried to be yours

But all you preferred was

Someone to burn and carry all the weight

You were my everything

But now you're nothing but a bad dream

Made me your broken thing

Tear me apart, I am your nothing

You are my everything

But now you're nothing but a bad dream

Made me your broken thing

Tear me apart, I am your nothing

Now my name is on your list

A piece of me is spent

Excuses that you gave to me

And sorries never meant

You said that I was all you need

So why I'm just a friend?

All those nights I gave to you

Just to see it end

You were my everything

But now you're nothing but a bad dream

Made me your broken thing

Tear me apart, I am your nothing
