Paper Thin Songtext
von ILLENIUM, Tom DeLonge & Angels & Airwaves

I see you at the window sill
The rain, it won′t stop, the air's so chill
I never heard a word you said
The phone, it can′t ring if the heart is dead

You carry 'round your box of glass
With wings so sharp that they cut too fast
Runnin' when the sky comes down
Growin′ more cracks when you can′t be found

I took your heart and made it mine
Do my best to justify it
Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
So how'd we let it get this way?

Your broken heart was just like mine
We built these walls and hid inside ′em
I said I wouldn't let you in
And now you know I′m paper-thin

And now you know I'm paper-thin

And now you know I′m paper-thin


Maybe I just let you down
But look at those eyes, I'm thinkin' too loud
Maybe I′ll just bide my time
So when it feels right, you can be mine

Didn′t know it'd be so late
Drinkin′ all night, numbin' that shame
Guessin′ that I'll be careful now
I′m holdin' your past, I'll carry you out

I took your heart and made it mine
Do my best to justify it
Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
So how′d we let it get this way?

Your broken heart was just like mine
We built these walls and hid inside ′em
I said I wouldn't let you in
And now you know I′m paper-thin

And now you know I'm paper-thin

And now you know I′m paper-thin

Don't lie to us, don′t lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone
It will make me spin
And now you know I'm paper-thin


Don′t lie to us, don′t lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone
It will make me spin
And now you know I′m paper-thin

Don't lie to us, don′t lie to us
Don't hide from us
Or anything, or anyone
It will make me spin
And now you know I′m paper-thin
