Cauterize - Paper Wings lyrics

Your paper wings got ruined in the rain

Coat hanger halo got rusted

The lace fell off the dress you made

Your the saddest little angel

Mascara left a sour taste

[Chorus:]

And I wish I was there when you took that fall

I'm too weak to pick you up

But I would've laid 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 (not so bad)

Don't let them scare you.

And I pushed your bed to the window today.

You're still not well enough to do visitors away

I fight these tears by your bedside

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 make such an innocent mess in all of this.

[Chorus]
