~ Paper ~

What I wouldn't give to define to this,
Something's gone away.
What I wouldn't cherish, to make you feel the same.
If this is a dream let me wake up.
Let me breathe again.
What would you say to me, if I reached for you?
Would you understand.
Where this long road goes.

People stare at me when I say your name,
Like I'm talking crazy.
They give me blank eyes,
Curse me when I cry,
And tell me you're to blame.
For this long road.


(Chorus)

Though I cry, say good-bye, walk in my own lie.
It'll be okay if I don't say your name.
Here's a smile, been a while, now leave me alone,
This is my cross to bear, mine to own.
Don't offer your sympathy.
It's no better than paper empathy.


This house is quiet today.
No conversation at the table again.
Hiding all the signs like an actor.
When did you become a sin?
Isn't it obvious what I'm going through,
What I'm dealing with.
They're right, we're wrong, move on,
Because some hands he did not touch.
On his long road home...


(Chorus)

Though I cry, say good-bye, walk in my own lie.
It'll be ok if I don't say your name.
Here's a smile, been a while, now leave me alone,
This is my cross to bear, mine to own.
Don't offer your sympathy.
It's no better than paper empathy.


(Bridge)

Cut deeper, I'm bleeding.
Your healing is damaging.
Shut up! Shut up! You know nothing,
Beyond your own reason,
Why can't you just leave me alone!


(Chorus)

Though I cry, say good-bye, walk in my own lie.
It'll be ok if I don't say your name.
Here's a smile, been a while, now leave me alone,
This is my cross to bear, mine to own.
Don't offer your sympathy. It's no better...


(Chorus)

I'll always remember the time that we had.
When everything was golden, and didn't seem so bad.
Against their wishes I will remember,
I will say your name.
And leave this place.
Hey. Hey yea.
This is me now.
