lyrics

PAPER THIN

I thought we had much more to say
but I can see now that this ain’t true
A cell phone rings our talk is over
Time’s up, the scene is through
Well the one mistake I made was to open up to you
Now every word comes back to haunt me
I guess it’s nothing new – (shit happens)

You might only trust yourself
but leave some room for doubt
You might only trust yourself
but when the truth comes out
You start to wonder – could it be me?
Did our insecurities hanging there do us in?
Is the bond between us lovers more or less paper thin?

We stand here on the stage with nothin’
but promises and wasted dreams
Do you remember we were once just babies
Our lifeline slates were clean
If I knew back then how things would turn out for the
worst I would have cloistered my life away
Avoid the pain of love’s illusion
Un-dig myself this early grave

You might only trust yourself
but when the truth comes out
You start to wonder – could it be me?
Did our insecurities hanging there do us in?
Is the bond between us lovers more or less...

Is there something to be learned from this?
Or is it all just hit and miss
You can’t decide so you take the risk
Fooled again by another kiss
You’ll be together, forever
For some that does exist and you can win the lotto…

Trish the TV lottery lady :
And tonight’s winning numbers are 47 the next 11 the
next 7 the next 4 the next 3 and finally 1.
Are you the lucky winner?
Well if not... better luck next life!

You might only trust yourself
but leave some room for doubt
You might only trust yourself
but when the truth comes out
You start to wonder – could it be me?
Did our insecurities hanging there do us in?
Is the bond between us lovers more or less paper thin?

Paper thin
Paper thin
Paper thin
