On Paper

Two in the morning
you’re asleep and I’m tossing
in my head
in my head
there's a war going on
inside my mind and my heart
is winning it
winning it

and you don’t even know
when you open up your eyes
it’s over
I wish I could say
that I feel this way
‘cause I’m not sober
maybe ill regret this
maybe second-guess this, love
but I gotta let you go
even though I wanna hold you
closer

you’re perfect
on paper
but I can’t help the things I don’t feel
boy you’re perfect
on paper
if only what I wrote down was real

I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart

It’s been a while now
I’ve been thinkin’ about
us ending it
ending it
And the hardest part
is that I know you think I’m
the perfect fit
perfect fit

and you don’t even know
when you open up your eyes
it’s over
I wish I could say
that I feel this way
‘cause I’m not sober
maybe ill regret this
maybe second-guess this, love
but I gotta let you go
even though I wanna hold you
closer

you’re perfect
on paper
but I can’t help the things I don’t feel
boy you’re perfect
on paper
if only what I wrote down was real

I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
(boy you’re perfect)
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
(on paper)
I wouldn’t have to break your heart
your heart
your heart
If only what I wrote down was real

You’re perfect
On paper
But I can’t help the things I don’t feel
Boy you’re perfect
On paper
If only what I wrote down was real
