EYA - Paper Birds Lyrics

Woke up in a daze like I have been most days
Tryin' to wrap my brain 'cause I'm currently insane
Is it best to pour it down the drain 'cause
I'm hurting, I'm hurting
Whiskey lips tellin' me it's ok
Just a dream. Wake up it's new day
Closed eyes to see that you've stayed
I'm hurting, I'm hurting

Why do we have words
If you fold them into paper birds
Whose meanings just fly away
I tried to be yours
But all you preferred was
Someone to burn and carry all the weight

You were my everything
But now you're nothing but a bad dream
Made me your broken thing
Tear me apart, I am your nothing

Cried enough tears, can I make a layaway?
Hoping that I can pick up my sanity one day
Before you burn it all away
You're taking, keep taking
My light from my sunshine
Breeze from my summer rays
Leaves from my trees
Weekends with no Saturdays
I poured into you all I have
Yet you're empty, still empty

Why do we have words
If you fold them into paper birds
Whose meanings just fly away
I tried to be yours
But all you preferred was
Someone to burn and carry all the weight

You were my everything
But now you're nothing but a bad dream
Made me your broken thing
Tear me apart, I am your nothing
You are my everything
But now you're nothing but a bad dream
Made me your broken thing
Tear me apart, I am your nothing

Now my name is on your list
A piece of me is spent
Excuses that you gave to me
And sorries never meant
You said that I was all you need
So why I'm just a friend?
All those nights I gave to you
Just to see it end

You were my everything
But now you're nothing but a bad dream
Made me your broken thing
Tear me apart, I am your nothing
