「Paper Walls」

We build these paper walls, they're razor thin Pretend they'll hold when the storm comes in We laugh it off, say we're doing fine But we both know it's just a matter of time We're too scared to ask what's real Afraid to face what we might feel Tear it down or let it stay? What's the point if it's gonna fade away? Paper walls and shattered glass We keep holding on but we're fading fast Words feel like a loaded gun We can't undo what's already begun We're standing still but we're miles apart Drawing lines in the dark, yeah Paper walls won't save us, no Guess we'll watch them come crashing down We fake the smiles, but the cracks show through Both of us know what we're scared to do If we say it out loud, will it break the spell? Maybe we're safer in this quiet hell We're too scared to ask what's real Afraid to face what we might feel Tear it down or let it stay? What's the point if it's gonna fade away? We're too scared to ask what's real Afraid to face what we might feel Do we fight or just let go? Do we really wanna know? Paper walls and shattered glass We keep holding on but we're fading fast Words feel like a loaded gun We can't undo what's already begun We're standing still but we're miles apart Drawing lines in the dark, yeah Paper walls won't save us, no Guess we'll watch them come crashing down And when the dust settles, what will we find? Just echoes of a love left behind Maybe we were never built to last Paper walls fall so fast Paper walls and shattered glass We're holding on but we can't go back We're standing still but we're miles apart Drawing lines in the dark, yeah Paper walls won't save us, no Guess we'll watch them come crashing down.
