Paper Thin

The seasons change

And people feel strange

I wasn't part of the plan

She held the light

You put up a fight

But it slipped right out of your hands

​

I wiped the tears off her faces

We went to all of your places

I helped her tie up her laces

In June

Now you tell me I'm different

But I feel the distance

I should keep up my resistance

But I...

I feel her in the air that we breathe

When you leave

Like a whisper that I can't believe

Or deceive

Did I aim to deceive?

Hmm

​

Well, quiet gets loud

When you're in a crowd

I pretend that I don't know

She told me the truth

About losing her youth

And how hard it was to let go

​

I wiped the tears off her faces

We went to all of your places

I helped her tie up her laces

In June

Now you tell me I'm different

But I feel the distance

I should keep up my resistance

But I...

​

I feel her in the air that we breathe

When you leave

Like a whisper that I can't believe

Or deceive

Did I aim to deceive?

​

(You say you've never felt this way before)

(But she said you told her the same thing at her door)

(Halloween night, sleeping on the floor)

(I know I shouldn't ask, so I'll ignore)

And I wonder

Do you look for the pieces of her inside of me?

Quietly?

​

'Cause I feel her in the air that we breathe

When you leave

Like a whisper that I can't believe

Or deceive

Did I aim to deceive?

Did I aim to deceive?

​

Am I the thief?

Am I?
