Paperback - The Last Sleepless City

Paperback Lyrics

And I can’t break this habit
I can’t tell you what’s wrong
I want you to notice
I’m already gone
I wish I had a dime
For every way you make me feel
I could afford to buy your love back
Or at least pretend that it was real
And after all those fights
I left the truth unsaid
Spent half a million nights
Getting in over my head
Same story written on a different page
Nostalgic for the things I used to hate
Let’s be honest with ourselves
Things aren’t the way they used to be

When I kiss you goodnight
I know you’ll stare right through me
Push me aside with every word you say
And when I say I love you
You turn the other way
If that’s the case I’m lying through my teeth
At least one of us is honest
You never loved me
Why are we still acting like we care?
When you close your eyes at night
Am I still the one that you see there?
After everything I’ve been through
You’d think that I’d be used to this
If never does get easier
But I’m learning how to live with it
I’ve crossed the lines out of this life I’ve found
I’ve got a lot of things to say
But the words are changing as I write them down
And I have to turn another page
And I can’t keep tearing up my heart like this
So paper-thin I’m moving on
So please stop asking me to stay
We both know I’m already
