As we walk down this hall.
Out of this house,
And toward the street
Lingering in our eyes are looks of defeat.
Everything we thought we knew
Was smoke and mirrors.
It wasn't true.
There was nothing real between us two.
As time went on the illusions grew
Unlike the bond between me and you.

My paper heart
Can rip and tear.

My paper heart
Can't always be there.

My paper heart
Can fade away.

My paper heart
Can be erased.

My paper heart
Hangs on your wall.

My paper heart
Can potentially fall.

My paper heart
May not be great,

But my paper heart is unique
And it can't be replaced.

I'm wishing I was bulletproof
As the rain falls through this roof.
And you're screaming in my face,
But these tears can't be erased.
Feeling guilty you made me cry.
The secrets you keep killing you inside.
You're to proud to show or share your fears,
But that fear is keeping us here.
Too full of shit to explain
How this love drives us both insane.
We're both too stubborn to understand.
We're both too big of assholes to give a damn.
We were both poised and waiting
For the sound of the gun.
Get ready,
Get set,
Bang!
Now we run.

I tried
To reach the top
Of this 6 foot deep hole,
But I just couldn't get up.
I dug myself down there
and kept my self digging.
I feel the paranoia sinking, seeping,
Burying itself deeper and deeper
Into my skin.
No matter how hard I try
I cannot seem to win.
I'm just never going to be good enough for you.
Why bother giving in
If you won't ever give me a chance
To win?

To truly have no care in the world
To be the one that breaks the mold
To be your only hand to hold
To care for you when you grow old
To never let my love be sold
Even when you act so cold

That is the dream I hold
deep in my soul
Clutching that dream late at night
When the house shudders and the lightning strikes
Crying into my pillow
Don't let go!
Without that dream
I don't know...
