Paper Wings Songtext
von Rocom

Held my breath
I didn′t want to move an inch
Not to wake you, not to seem weird
I was sure at any moment things would be clear
That I'm not right
I′m beyond broken
Thinking you might fall far from focus
See me different, but I'm the same
Same you had then, same that won't change
See it in your face
I made my mistakes
My past is blank and yours won′t let go
Pressing on your lungs gripping tight to your throat
Wishing I could save you, you want that now
Take you away and make it work somehow
Not proud of how I acted to your reaction
I should of known
We weren′t built for lasting


I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
Came apart like paper cups
I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
But, it wasn't enough

Are you still mad
Do you move with love
Would you take back what we had with us
I don′t think that, still wish we worked
Wishing each date was like the fifty first
And everything was new, fresh to start
No scars to heal and nothing left a mark
Before the hurt bleed into the dark
Pressed to my heart when it pulled apart
Wanted this most from the very first day
Gave me a cake and my wish was made
Night to day, fireworks fade
How could I know you would feel the same
Believe that, I wanted you bad
My ways got changed just to have you back
Friends tried to tell me that it's for the best
If I′m best alone then I don't want the best


I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
Came apart like paper cups
I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
But, it wasn′t enough

I built these wings for us to fly
Made the bones from what's left inside
Nowhere to go, nothing left to hide
Stepped off the ledge just to give 'em a try
I stepped off, felt the wind catch
Got some lift, exhaled my breath
Couldn′t see death waiting on the ground
My feet never left when I looked back down
That′s the fear holding me back
I Held it near
Far from the fact that you're down
From day one too
Not about what I thought you knew
Never mattered more than it seemed to
Never thought that I could ever leave you
Now and then with nothing left to do
But playing games of pretend just with you

I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
Came apart like paper cups
I built these wings for us
Take my hand when you pick me up
I built these wings with love
But, it wasn′t enough
