paper HEART

Lyrics

Lenses Through A Rose-Colored World
Incognito Written by Aundrea Alexander Radford
Performed by Paper Heart

It never started at home
She learned how to run
Before she learned how to stay
Her parents tried to warn her
But she always looked the other way
She carried signs of greatness
Bright enough to light up any stage
But by twenty one
Whatever’s left in the bathwater
Still runs down the drain

If you’re looking for some advice
You’ve come to the wrong place
I gave up telling people wrong from right
When my first girlfriend wouldn’t stay

That’s not why you keep your head down
You’ve never been one to be afraid
There are just too many people
Who’ve followed certain dreams
That are sadly alone in the grave

Those thoughts seem different now
Like postcards from a distant friend
Even the ones who say they love you
Don’t make time anymore
Because the bills never end

And if you’re looking for some advice
You’ve come to the wrong place
I gave up telling people wrong from right
When my first girlfriend wouldn’t stay

That’s not why you keep your head down
You’ve never been one to be afraid
There are just too many people
Who’ve followed certain dreams
That are sadly alone in the grave

She remembers following every line on my face
How each line shows
How every relationship ended the same way
You’re under pressure to remember my name
It starts with an A and ends with the same

But if you’re looking for some advice
You’ve come to the wrong place
I gave up telling people wrong from right
When my first girlfriend wouldn’t stay

That’s not why you keep your head down
You’ve never been one to be afraid
There are just too many people
Who’ve followed certain dreams
That are sadly alone in the grave

That’s not why you keep your head down
You’ve never been one to be afraid
There are just too many people
Who’ve followed certain dreams
That are sadly alone in the grave
