Lyrics[edit]
- I know I can't conceal, I know that it's an ordeal
- You found out all my moves that I can't disprove
- I see that you do try, I see reasons why you cry
- I see creases in your heart as they rip apart
- Now, I'm drunk on adhesives
- Trying to cover up stigma of mine
- But nothing sticks and nothing stays
- As you poke holes in my tale
- Please forgive my leaking eyes
- Please don't spoil my paradise
- Holding onto hope, shattered by
- The one who broke my love
- And I'm crafting paper alibis
- 'Cause I'm too weak for real goodbyes
- Waitin' to be torn in two
- Cause I could not tell the truth
- You know I can't forget the fact that you can't accept
- The people I adored the promises we sworn
- Can't you see I do try and the reasons why I cry
- These petty papercuts
- Don't turn them to a flood
- Now, I'm drunk on adhesives
- Trying to cover up stigma of mine
- But nothing sticks and nothing stays
- As you poke holes in my tale
- I can't stand reality
- You can't stop this agony
- Drowning in the dissonance by
- The one who crushed our fate
- In this life folded with tragedies
- We crave for more apologies
- Wishes, they all start to rust
- Our feelings burn to dust
- Please forgive my leaking eyes
- Please don't spoil my paradise
- Holding onto hope, shattered by
- The one who broke my love
- And I'm crafting paper alibis
- 'Cause I'm too weak for real goodbyes
- Waitin' to be torn in two
- Cause I could not tell the truth
