On Paper

Two in the morning, you're asleep and I'm tossin' in my head
In my head (head, head, head)
There's a war going on inside my mind and my heart is winning it
Winning it

And you don't even know when you open up your eyes it's over
I wish I could say that I feel this way 'cause I'm not sober
Maybe I'll regret this, maybe second-guess this, love
But I gotta let you go even though I wanna hold you closer (closer)

You're perfect on paper
But I can't help the things I don't feel
Boy, you're perfect on paper
If only what I wrote down was real

I wouldn't have to break your hеart
Your heart, your heart
I wouldn't have to brеak your heart
Your heart, your heart
I wouldn't have to break your heart
Your heart, your heart
I wouldn't have to break your heart
Your heart, your heart

It's been a while now
I been thinkin' about us ending it, ending it (it, it, it)
And the hardest part is that I know you think I'm the perfect fit
Perfect fit

And you don't even know when you open up your eyes it's over
I wish I could say that I feel this way 'cause I'm not sober
Maybe I'll regret this, maybe second-guess this, love
But I gotta let you go even though I wanna hold you closer

You're perfect on paper
But I can't help the things I don't feel
Boy, you're perfect on paper
If only what I wrote down was real

I wouldn't have to break your heart
Your heart, your heart
I wouldn't have to break your heart
Your heart, your heart
I wouldn't have to (boy you're perfect) break your heart
Your heart, your heart
(On paper)
I wouldn't have to break your heart, your heart—
(If only what I wrote down was real)

You're perfect on paper
But I can't help the things I don't feel
Boy, you're perfect on paper
If only what I wrote down was real
(Was real, was real, was real...)
