Paper Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lie awake til the early AM Wrapped up in all of the pages Words you never said And I've found that wishing for heaven Is just a living hell With or without your pain [Pre-Chorus 1] I'm falling asleep where you used to be [Chorus] Your words still burn under my paper skin Why did I let you in? And your lips, they lie To keep your heart disguised Did you ever need mine? Did you ever need mine? [Verse 2] I guess you had to rip through the ceiling But the constellations, they look so rivet now I guess it all worked out When you sleep, the wind keeps you distant But I'm sure you're wrapped in the midst of a broken house Can we slow this down? [Pre-Chorus 2] You left with bricks and stones From a heart that lost its soul With just a node I still keep close, but I should have kept closed [Chorus] Your words still burn under my paper skin Why did I let you in? And your lips, they lie To keep your heart disguised Did you ever need mine? Did you ever, ever? Did you ever, ever? [Bridge] Can I let go now? Can I let go now? And I'm falling asleep, where you used to be Falling asleep, where you used to be Can I let go now? It's so hard holding my breath With an empty chest [Chorus] Your words still burn under my paper skin Why did I let you in? And your lips, they lie To keep your heart disguised Did you ever need mine? Did you ever, ever? (can I let go now?) Did you ever, ever?
