Paper Stories

Been searching everywhere, losing track of time
Built these walls up high, thought I'd be just fine
Everything was picture perfect in my head
But now I'm free falling instead
Walking straight into the darkest part of me
Where nothing ever changes, where I can't break free

They say we got it all figured out
Steady like the stars above the clouds
But here I am alone in my room
Mind's a mess, and I'm coming undone
Is it too late to rewrite my story?

Can't go back to living fairytales no more
Don't wait up for me, I won't make it home
'Cause I'm just gonna make your heart break
And everything feels too late
The choices that I made shaped who I am
It's whatever now, I learned to live with
This loneliness in my veins
(In my veins)

Ripped pages on my bedroom floor
(What am I living for?)
Fragments of who I used to be
Drawing lines that I can't cross
Lost in spaces where I belong

They say we got it all figured out
But here I am alone in my room
Mind's a mess, and I'm coming undone
Is it too late to rewrite my story?

Can't go back to living fairytales no more
Don't wait up for me, I won't make it home
'Cause I'm just gonna make your heart break
And everything feels too late
The choices that I made shaped who I am
It's whatever now, I learned to live with
This loneliness in my veins
(In my veins)

Paper stories burning down
Watch them fade into the ground
This is me now, can't turn back time
Living with these scars of mine
These scars of mine
