Broken Paper Plane

[Verse 1]

Heard it's your birthday today

Still I'll apologize the same

For lying myself in selfish ways

I'll bear the weight of all the shame

If it's the cocaine that stained

All of our plates and knives and trays

And flying on a broken paper plane

With families screaming Jesus' name

[Pre-Chorus]

Emptied out your house

Filled it with anger, fear, and doubt

Expecting just love but love runs out

Ripping my roots out from the ground

[Chorus]

Would you be okay if I never came around and ruined everything?

Ask me to stay if I drew up and owned up to the mess I made

Back in 402, never told the truth

Now the walls are an emptier shade of blue

Stopping to save since I showed up and crashed your broken paper plane

[Verse 2]

It's a brand new day

Look in the mirror, see your face

You wouldn't recognize anyway

Can't believe what I became

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept your letters just in case

I'd make it up to you someday

For now, I'm folding my arm in ways to fly a broken paper plane

[Chorus]

Would you be okay if I never came around and ruined everything?

Ask me to stay if I drew up and owned up to the mess I made

Back in 402, never told the truth

Now the walls are an emptier shade of blue

Stopping to save since I showed up and crashed your broken paper plane

[Bridge]

Are you such a human way

Of shapeshifting into someone you would hate

Noticing only when it's too late

[Chorus]

Would you be okay if I never came around and fucked up everything?

Ask me to stay if I drew up and owned up to the mess I made

You were there for me, wasn't there for you

Bowing out was just something I had to do

Stopping to save since I showed up and crashed your broken paper plane

[Instrumental]
