Paper Wings -

Your paper wings got ruined in the rain

Coat hanger halo got rusted

The lace fell off the dress you made

Your the saddest little angel

Mascara left a sour taste

And I wish I was there when you took that fall

I’m too weak to pick you up

But I would’ve laid down in this puddle beside you

'Cause it’s all that I can do

I didn’t have the heart to tell you

It’s really bad

It’s really bad this time

Like wild horses running, scared

From a storm that’s too much to bare

It’s sad, the things you used to fear

Don’t seem so bad (not so bad)

Don’t let them scare you

And I pushed your bed to the window today

You’re still not well enough TURNED YOUR visitors away

I fight these tears by your bedside

How dare I let you see me cry

I didn’t have the heart to tell you

It’s really bad

It’s really bad this time

Your wings weren’t meant for this

This weather that no one guessed

No calm before the storm

And it’s gone before the panic sets

So let’s take our time with this

Bleach the mud from off your dress

You make such an innocent mess in all of this
