Paper Dreams

It's been a hard time living here out by myself

It's been a hard time caring now 'bout someone else

'Cause when that girl gone left, I nearly lost my mind

It's been a long time coming but I feel alright

And I’m feeling alright

I swear that I had broken free now, living for myself

I've been seeking medication, huh, with someone else

But every time I think it's over, don’t she come around, huh

Racing through my mind and just bringing me down

These paper dreams, they're still followin' my heart

All these years, they keep tearin' me apart

Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now

I thought you're all that I need

But I'm livin' paper dreams

Paper dreams

I'm shaking just enough now here to hold this line

I wish I had an affidavit, girl, to know your mind

Well, it's a cold, cold world that I’m holding to

Keep me in the dark, babe, I don’t want your truth

These paper dreams, they're still followin' my heart

All these years, they keep tearin' me apart

Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now

I thought you're all that I need

But I'm livin' paper dreams

Paper dreams

These paper dreams, they're still followin' my heart

All these years, they keep tearin' me apart

Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now

I thought you're all that I need

But I'm livin' paper dreams

These paper dreams, they're still followin' my heart

All these years, they keep tearin' me apart

Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now

I thought you're all that I need

But I'm livin' paper dreams
