Paper Cuts and Wasted Memories

Everyone was screaming,

screaming what I couldn’t hear….

--

Free falling I’ve hit this bottle’s bottom

the product of my own desperation

cash it in for the five cents

you’re all that’s left and my time’s spent.

--

You’re just another paper cut

that just missed my heart.

Another wasted dream

that never got its start.

Don’t count on finding you in my memories.

--

Now maybe I’m just drunk but I can’t remember your face

(how much did you think I could take?

Stripped of that guise where’s your alibi?

where’s your alibi now)

--

But I’m really not the one to blame

with each act comes a costume change

Curtain call, you’re act’s up

so take a bow and flash that smile

it’s all you have, just like they said

(just like they said)

Now’s the time you exit stage left.

--

You’re just another paper cut

(sorry to say you’ve missed my heart.)

Just another wasted dream that’s lost its appeal

(how does that make you feel?)

--

Here, this drink’s on me

thanks for everything you never gave

I think I can handle it from here

so best be on you’re way

‘Gotta date with the devil, wouldn’t wanna be late

cause you’re headed straight to the grave

(Straight to the grave for all you never gave

You won’t be missed when you’re gone.)

--

You’re just another paper cut

that just missed my heart.

Another wasted dream

that never got its start.

Don’t count on finding you in my memories.

--

(I’ve forgotten you’re face

I’ve forgotten you’re face

And what was your name?)

--

Everyone was screaming, screaming, and now I can hear….
