I know I can't conceal, I know that it's an ordeal
You found out all my moves that I can't disprove
I see that you do try, I see reasons why you cry
I see creases in your heart as they rip apart
Now, I'm drunk on adhesives
Trying to cover up stigma of mine
But nothing sticks and nothing stays
As you poke holes in my tale
Please forgive my leaking eyes
Please don't spoil my paradise
Holding onto hope, shattered by
The one who broke my love
And I'm crafting paper alibis
'Cause I'm too weak for real goodbyes
Waitin' to be torn in two
Cause I could not tell the truth
You know I can't forget the fact that you can't accept
The people I adored the promises we sworn
Can't you see I do try and the reasons why I cry
These petty papercuts
Don't turn them to a flood
Now, I'm drunk on adhesives
Trying to cover up stigma of mine
But nothing sticks and nothing stays
As you poke holes in my tale
I can't stand reality
You can't stop this agony
Drowning in the dissonance by
The one who crushed our fate
In this life folded with tragedies
We crave for more apologies
Wishes, they all start to rust
Our feelings burn to dust
Please forgive my leaking eyes
Please don't spoil my paradise
Holding onto hope, shattered by
The one who broke my love
And I'm crafting paper alibis
'Cause I'm too weak for real goodbyes
Waitin' to be torn in two
Cause I could not tell the truth
