"Paper Tiger" lyrics

I have seen what's left for all the rest of you
And it's not what you think that it will be
For the gift and the curse of what's been shown to you
I can't believe what I feel it is taking
Never give, never bend, it's all a lie to you
And all you do is seem to remind me
Of all the times and the ways I would have died for you
And this is all the thanks that you'll show me

If you would show
The light for me
The things I'd known
That now I'd see

This is not the same, not now, never, no, not again
When the dreams and the truth came colliding
And the same can be said for all the rest of them
See the strong and the weak divided
Yet I feel alive
For all the pain I have
And all you do is seem to remind me
Of all of the times and the ways I would have died for you
And this is all of the thanks that you'll show me

If you would show
The light for me
The things I'd known
That now I'd see
If you would show
The light for me
The things I'd known
That now I'd see

Energy as I feel it calling
Cannot see through the cloud that's forming
Blinding as it passes before my eyes
Looking for the thing that's calling
Now I see that it's coming after
Now I see that it's coming after
Now I see that it's coming after
Now I see that it's coming after me

If you would show
The light for me
The things I'd known
That now I'd see
If you would show
The light for me
The things I'd known
That now I'd see
