Don't let your life slip through the cracks in your hand If you hold on tight you might stand a chance Don't be yourself if you're not someone you like There's hope for change in anyone's life The paper skin I'm living in it tells the truth, it proves I'm broken This paper skin, so frail so thin and every touch can tear me open La la la la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la Don't make your love suffer insecurity Trade the baggage of "self" to set another man free Don't dream out loud you never know who will hear Delight in bringing you down and fill your head with their fears On paper skin words won't rescind they sink too deep and slice me open In paper skin I never mend it bends me back until I'm broken La la la la la la la la la, La la la la la la la la
