Adam Smith - On Paper Lyrics

Two hearts
Too close but too far
Lost, now, deep in the dark
Both caught up in the past
Maybe it's not meant to last
Two minds
Changing all the time
Can't read between the lines
Too far gone to take it all back or leave it all behind
Cause it was so perfect on paper
But I guess that stories change
And that words they fade
And it won't get better
Cause I'm barely coping
Just sat here hoping
That I can rewrite all these words
And I can erase all the hurt
But the perfect on paper fades
And I can't read the book with half a page
Her, him, and she's so in love
But he cannot be the one
They act close but he's so far
And he just leaves her in the dark
Too much, she can't sleep at night
Don't know if she'll be alright
Eyes open, her mind starts to wander and she starts wonder
Cause they were so perfect on paper
But they don't belong
Cause he treats her wrong
And she hopes that later
The page will turn
And she will learn
That she could find somebody better
If they weren't stuck here together
But the perfect on paper fades
And she can't read the book with half a page
So where do you go
When you can't find a home
And you've lost all control?
I don't know, I don't know
I'll just write it on paper
And save it for later
And hope that later
I will finally know
How my story goes
Cause it was so perfect on paper
But it just weren't meant to be
And I hope that later
I'll be somebody that you want to read
And I can write down my own words
Cause it may take time but I'll heal from the hurt
And the perfect on paper fades
But I'll write my own perfect on the page
