Piece of Paper

Behind these walls

It lies a voice that you don’t get to hear at all

Questioning why I can’t fall asleep at night

(Tell me why)

You know I’m not okay

You're making up words

That doesn’t make sense

Life isn’t 'bout the paper

I’m trying my best alone

('cause you're tripping me over)

Everybody wants to be someone they don’t wanna be, oh just let them be

'Cause even after all the damage they have done towards me

I just can’t compete

You know I try to be fine (you know)

So why do you have to be right (all the time)

Words are the depths of our lives (can we try)

So tell me it’s gon' be alright

You're making up words

That doesn’t make sense

Life isn’t 'bout the paper

I’m trying my best alone ('cause you're tripping me over)

Everybody wants to be someone they don’t wanna be, oh just let them be

'Cause even after all the damage they have done towards me, I just can’t compete

Everybody wants to be someone they don’t wanna be, oh just let them be

'Cause even after all the damage they have done towards me, I just can’t compete

What we think is what we feel (don’t let it take a hold of you)

Nothing that we touch is real (everything that matters)

A piece of paper makes it real (we’re lost in the transaction)

All I have is what I feel
