"Paper Thin" lyrics

ILLENIUM & Tom DeLonge Lyrics

"Paper Thin"

I see you at the window sill
The rain it won't stop, the air it's so chill
I never heard the words you said
The phone it can't ring, if the heart is dead

You carry round your box of glass
With wounds so sharp, that they cut too fast
Runnin' when the sky comes down
Growin' more cracks, when you can't be found

I took your hurt
And made it mine
Do my best
To justify it

Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
So how we let it get this way?

Your broken heart
Was just like mine
We built these walls
And hid inside 'em

I said, I wouldn't let you in
And now you know, I'm paper thin

And now you know, I'm paper thin
And now you know, I'm paper thin

Maybe I'll just let you down
But look at those eyes, I'm thinkin' too loud
Maybe I'll just bide my time
So when it feels right, you can be mine

Didn't know it'd be so late
Drinking all night and numbing that shame
Guessin' I'll be careful now
I'm holdin' your past, I'll carry you out

I took your hurt
And made it mine
Do my best
To justify it

Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
So how we let it get this way?

Your broken heart
Was just like mine
We built these walls
And hid inside 'em

I said, I wouldn't let you in
And now you know, I'm paper thin

And now you know, I'm paper thin
And now you know, I'm paper thin

Don't lie to us
Don't lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone, it will make me spin
And now you know, I'm paper thin

Don't lie to us
Don't lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone, it will make me spin
And now you know, I'm paper thin

Don't lie to us
Don't lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone, it will make me spin
And now you know, I'm paper thin
