"papergirl" lyrics

You just wanna see me fall
So say whatever keeps you asleep
'Cause you just wanna make me small
On the tip of your tongue, where the fiction is spun
So go ahead and act so sweet
I'll grin and bear the pain through my teeth
And when the pen and paper meet
Oh, I'll know the truth, I mean nothing to you

'Cause I'm paper, and light shines through me
I can be a muse or decor, I am anything you choose for me
So fold me and shape me, if you leave a crease
It's okay, I am paper, recycled easily

'Cause I'm paper-thin, just fill me in
Right though my skin, and I tear so easily
I am paper-thin, just pull me in
I hold no sin, and I tear so easily
I am paper-thin, just take this pin
And fix my grin, and I tear so easily
'Cause I'm paper

You just wanna make me cry
It's so much to pretend that you're kind
So I just wanna ask you, why?
When I've shown you the truth, you still lie so askew
I just want you to be cruel to me
I hate myself so easily
Why can't you do the same for me?

'Cause I'm paper, and light shines through me
Write me with a pen or a pencil and leave no room for self-esteem
I want you to hurt me, show no sympathy
It's okay, I am paper, I cut so easily

'Cause I'm paper-thin, just fill me in
Right though my skin, and I tear so easily
I am paper-thin, just pull me in
I hold no sin, and I tear so easily
I am paper-thin, just take this pin
And fix my grin, and I tear so easily
'Cause I'm-

(But baby, you don't need to feel that way)

(Paper) and kindness kills me
You don't think a martyr becomes you?
Well, I can't help but disagree
I'll kill you, destroy you and everything you love
You are worthless, paper, you'll never be enough
