lyrics

Darling are you awake?
You've been sleeping in for days
I can feel a distance in your heart
As if somethings not the same
Oh, did your heart grow weary?
I hate to ask, but I can't help but feel like

Somethings not the same
Please tell me its okay
I feel like I'm running back and forth
In the same old story
You feed me all of your empty sorries
Your paper roses aren't enough

I can feel a shift inside the room
Like the oxygen has been removed
I didn't want to believe it
But now I can see that you'll always be the same
Oh, did you think you're clever?
I hate to say I told you so

But you'll always be the same
Someday I'll be okay
I feel like I'm running back and forth in the same old story
I've given up on your empty sorries
Your paper roses aren't enough

Now I'm not the same
But I'm better off this way
I'm glad I'm not running back and forth in the same old story
Now I don't need any empty sorries
Cause your paper roses aren't enough

Cause I'm just not the same
But I'm still better off this way
I'm glad I'm not running back and forth in the same old story
Now I don't need any empty sorries
Cause your paper roses aren't enough
