Paper Moons

Underneath a paper moon
Thinking 'bout a life with you
It flickers in and out of frame
I can't ever make it look the same

You went out again last night
We never win 'cause you won't fight
There's nothing I can do from here
Except pour myself another beer

Who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself
I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you, but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again

I know it's nice to get away
Turn the past to ash and skip a day
The colors are too bright for you
But when you slip up, I'm breaking too

Slipping under next to you
Is that what you need me to do?
I don't wanna think no more
I'm not your father, not your cure

Mmm, who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself
I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you, but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again

You gotta stop
Giving yourself to them
You gotta stop, I wish you would stop

You gotta stop
Giving yourself to them
You gotta stop, I wish you would stop

But who am I to stand in your way?
If you want to lose yourself
I don't know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you, but it never works
I don't know why you're so committed to your pain
Another flat, another line to numb the worst
You are at it again
