paper moons

Underneath a paper moon Thinking 'bout a life with you It flickers in and out of frame I can't ever make it look the same You went out again last night We never win 'cause you don't fight There's nothing I can do from here 'Cept pour myself another beer Who am I to stand in your way? If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don't know why you're so committed to your pain Another flat, another line to numb the worst You are at it again I know it's nice to get away Turn the past to ash and skip a day The colours are too bright for you But when you slip up, I'm breaking too Slipping under next to you Is that what you need me to do? I don't wanna think no more I'm not your father, not your cure Who am I to stand in your way? If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don't know why you're so committed to your pain Another flat, another line to numb the worst You are at it again You gotta stop giving yourself to them You gotta stop, I wish you would stop You gotta stop giving yourself to them You gotta stop, I wish you would stop But who am I to stand in your way? If you want to lose yourself I don't know what to say You keep on asking me to save you but it never works I don't know why you're so committed to your pain Another flat, another line to numb the worst You are at it again
