Paper Wings Lyrics - Singles - Cauterize

Your paper wings got ruined in the rain 

Coat hanger halo got rusted 

The lace fell off of the dress you made 

You're the saddest little angel 

Mascara left a sour taste 

And I wish that I was there 

When you took that fall 

I'm too weak to pick you up 

But I would have lay 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, they're not so bad 

Don't let them scare you 

I pushed your bed to the window today 

You're still not well enough 

Turned visitors away 

I fight these tears by your beside 

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 much such an innocent mess of all of this 

And I wish that I was there 

When you took that fall 

I'm too weak to pick you up 

But I would have lay 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
