"paper moons" lyrics

"paper moons"

Underneath a paper moon
Thinking about a life with you
The flickers in and out of frame
I can't ever make it look the same
You went out again last night
We never win because you don't fight
There's nothing I can do from here
'Cept pour myself another beer

Who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again

I know it's nice to get away
Turn the past to ash and skip a day

The colours are too bright for you
But when you slip up, I'm breaking too
Slipping under next to you
Is that what you need me to do?
I don't wanna think no more
I'm not your father, not your cure

Who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again

You gotta stop
Giving yourself to them
You gotta stop
I wish you would stop
You gotta stop
Giving yourself to them
You gotta stop
I wish you would stop

But who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again
