Lyrics

VERSE 1
I don’t want to be the one just because you’re lonely
I don’t want to be the one while you make up your mind
I don’t want to be the one just because we’re both not strong enough
I don’t want to be the one if part of you is taken
I don’t want to be the one just because it suits
I don’t want to be the one you throw around like a paper plane

CHORUS
If you can’t see it, then neither can I
A consequence of past events, pushed to the limits
I’m tired and frayed
No more mistakes hey hey hey
No more mistakes hey hey hey

VERSE 2
Please don’t try to explain the way that your heart works
Nothing could be more confusing right now
Silhouettes of us stand in the back of my mind sometimes
Tell me do you read my letters planning to write back?
Do you open my letters? Do you get them at all?
When I think of us, I think of people I don’t know anymore

VERSE 3
You don’t have to explain the way that your heart works
It’s besides the point and it won’t change a thing
I still want to be someone that you know will always be there for you
But I won’t be the one just because you’re lonely
I won’t be the one just because it suits
My heart is a weight, too great, for this fragile Paper Plane
My heart is a weight, too great, for this fragile Paper Plane
