The Paper Man

01 May 2018

JamesTheStoic28
Back when things were electric 
And our days weren't so hectic,
We lifted each other to heights like no other 
You would smile at me with glee
To say, I can't believe you're with me
You're everything to me

Those days are dead and gone
and all we are left with is a bitter song,
We're passed our peak, hun
And laying beneath
Is extinction at our feet

You wanted a trophy man
But I could only give you me
I'm sorry I wasn't the "Every Man" you wanted me to be 

So when I asked you babe to describe me
Deep down, you couldn't find the words,
Not even in your heart
So you pulled out a crinkled old paper
And you said
This is what I wanted you to be
