Lyrics

You’re under the water
trying to pull me under
I reach for you
I reach for you

You can throw it all at me
I won’t give you up
I can handle all your pain
take it as it comes

I love you right
but you make me feel like

Paper
you cut right through
I’m stuck like glue to you
Paper
your darkness pulls
I lose control again

Drawing every bit of my truth
color me in with your blue

Paper
you cut right through
a thousand words for you

I know I wasn’t a part of your plan
I know you think that you’re being a man
tell me to leave you alone
tell me I would be so better off
but you don’t understand

I can’t leave you
baby
I can’t leave you

But you make me feel like

Paper
you cut right through
I’m stuck like glue to you
Paper
your darkness pulls
I lose control again

Drawing every bit of my truth
color me in with your blue

Paper
you cut right through
a thousand words for you

Paper
you cut right through
I’m stuck like glue to you
Paper
your darkness pulls
I lose control again

Drawing every bit of my truth
color me in with your blue

Paper
you cut right through
a thousand words for you
