If Paper Cranes Could Wish Goodbye then Maybe I Could Live My Life

lyrics

It was the closest to my heart that I've ever known but people threw sticks and stones until we didn't-no we didn't work anymore.

So why oh why oh why can't I seem to fly or wipe off the blood that I have on my eyes when the rocks hit me on the side of my face.

It's like the memories were only made to haunt me and now I can't seem to fake it. I can't seem to sleep and I can't seem to fake it.

I can't seem to sleep anymore.


I've always wished that we could just take flight but gravity takes me down as we increased our heights so I pushed you to the sky before I fell from your light.

And girl I've told you this a hundred times but the only thing I'm good for are goodbyes.


So tell me I'm stupid for falling so short the ones that wanted you played us to hurt-so I bring myself down to full reverse to try to slow things down.

But I can't save us if you don't need me.
At the end of the day I lose all meaning.

And every other face tells me to stop dreaming- but I had enough faith to jump.

And I've always wished that we could just take flight but gravity takes me down as we increased our heights so I pushed you to the sky before I fell from your light.

And girl,I've told you this a hundred times but the only thing I'm good for are goodbyes.



Your clipped wings were sorrow was my fall just in vain?
Maybe one day tomorrow they could be replaced.

Whether or not they are hollow or built out of pain, who's to say?

But somehow I'm not even hurt by the fact that everyone tried to land first on the wings on my partner who felt like home but by the fact that she eventually let go.




And I've always wished that we could just take flight but gravity takes me down as we get closer to the sky.

So I'll push you one more time before I lose my grip and die.

And girl I've told you this a hundred times.
And I know it cause I've seen it for my whole life.

Girl, I've told you this a hundred times but, the only thing I'm good for are goodbyes.
