This song is important to me. If you are in am abusive relationship you can always leave. Dont think you cant.
She sits there at night
Alone at the table
She asks herself why
Shes so unable
To change his ways
To change his mind
The things that he says
The way that he fights
But she loses herself
In those big brown eyes
Every time that she tries
He wont let her fly
Cos this beautiful girl
Is a delicate thing
So hes given her paper wings.
Paper wings
Shea too scared to try
To try and break free
But she doesnt know why
Paper wings
Shes too scared to fly
To pack up her bags
And take off in the night
With her paper wings.
She lies in bed
Her eyes on the ceiling
Lost in her head
Lost in her feelings
She doesnt know
What to do
Where to go
Or how to prove
That shes bigger than him
With those big brown eyes
Cos every time that she tries
She feels smaller than life
Oh this beautiful girl
Such a delicate thing
But hes given her paper wings
Chorus
She weighs herself down
But shes lighter than air
Shes calling for help
But there's nobody there
She looks all around her
But nobody cares.
Her family arrives
And sits at the table
They ask themselves why
She never was able
To change her ways
To change her mind
She always said
That shed leave or shed fight
But oh so it goes
She was thrown to the floor
And oh so it goes couldn't take anymore
Paper wings
In the dead of the night
She picked up that revolver
And laid down to die
Paper wings
In a dark desert sky
She in one with the stars in eternal flight.
