Paper Dolls Lyrics by Rob Thomas

The Great Unknown

2015

[Verse 1]
Better watch yourself
'Cause it's gonna be a long night ahead
This is hallowed ground
And there's fear in every word that you said
Don't make any moves while you're angry, I beg

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls

[Verse 2: Rooty]
Better not look down
'Cause it's gonna be a long way to fall
This is our last chance
And it's everything or nothing at all
Don't make me a fool, darling don't make me crawl

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls

[Bridge]
Worn from what's been said
And on and now the rest
Falls on where we go now

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know how we got this far
Don't know when we became who we are
The war goes on behind these walls
You and me are just worn paper dolls
You and me are just worn paper dolls
