Paper Dreams

[Intro]
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)

[Verse 1]
It's been a hard time living here out by myself
It's been a hard time caring now 'bout someone else
'Cause when that girl gone left I nearly lost my mind
It's been a long time coming but I feel alright

And I'm feeling alright, now (Hmm, hmm)
Yet I'm feeling alright, now (Hmm, hmm)

[Verse 2]
I swear that I had broken free now living for myself
I've been seeking medication, huh, with someone else
But every time I think it's over don't she come around, huh
Racing through my mind and just bringing me down

[Chorus]
These paper dreams, they still find a way to my heart
All these years they keep tearing me apart now
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
I thought you're all that I need
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams

[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm, hmm)

[Verse 3]
I'm shaking just enough now here to hold this line
I wish I had an affidavit girl to know your mind
Well, it's a cold, cold world that I'm holding to
Keep me in the dark, babe, I don't want your truth

[Chorus]
These paper dreams, they still find a way to my heart
All these years they keep tearing me apart now
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
I thought you're all that I need
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams

[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)

[Chorus]
These paper dreams, they still find a way to my heart
All these years they keep tearing me apart now
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
I thought you're all that I need
But I'm living paper dreams
These paper dreams, they still find a way to my heart
All these years they keep tearing me apart now
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
I thought you're all that I need
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams
