Paperskin Lyrics by Selfworth

2019

[Intro]
See, we're all just pictures that feed off first impressions
So paint me blues and greys if you want to
I'll make love's dark shades fluorescent
Because underneath this paper skin
Is a heart that's paper-thin
And these veins that kept our love alive
Have been cut to paper strings
Heartfelt

[Verse 1]
Because I lost myself when I lost you
No words were said, but we both knew
That these hands and the lips we kissed are now memories
And ones I know that'll miss

[Chorus]
("So hold me tight
Keep smiling, you'll be all right
All I need is some time
To find myself")
'Cause all I heard you say is that you need some time to find somebody else

[Chorus]
"So hold me tight
Keep smiling, you'll be all right
All I need is some time
Time to find myself"
But all I heard you say is that you need some time to find somebody else

[Verse 2]
And it's okay that it's not me
Life has its ways of making you see
Maybe I didn't deserve you
I'm sorry I hurt you, now I'm finally able to breathe
And it's okay that it's not me
Life has its ways of making you see
Maybe I didn't deserve you
I'm sorry I hurt you, now I'm finally able to breathe

[Chorus]
("So hold me tight
Keep smiling, you'll be all right
All I need is some time")
"So hold me tight
Keep smiling, you'll be all right
All I need is some time"

[Post-Chorus]
Heartfelt
Give me time

[Bridge]
("So hold me tight
Keep smiling, you'll be all right
All I need is some time")
Let this go
("Just time to find myself")
This is never what we dreamt of
("All I need is some time")
Just let us go
("Just time to find myself")
I'm so sorry if I killed us
We lost our paper skin

[Verse 3]
See, we're all just pictures that feed off first impressions
So paint me blues and greys if you want to
I'll make love's dark shades fluorescent
Because underneath this paper skin
Is a heart that's paper-thin
And these veins that kept our love alive
Have been cut to paper strings
Heartfelt

[Outro]
("All I need is some time
Time to find myself
All I need is some time
Time to find myself")
