Paperplanes and Sailboats
Excruciating pain lies within
Her appearance has such radiance
Believe me when I say that I love her
A widows peak shows that no harm is done
Escape the numbness today
Royalty is faulty no matter the motive
Believe me when I say that I love her
Such curves are destructive to oneself
Excruciating pain lies within
The touch of burning flesh creates goosebumps
I don't need it now
The beauty of it is that it's all wrong
Escape the numbness today
Shallowness is the crucial ingredient
It's playing your song
Believe me when I say that I love her
Excruciating pain lies within
I believed you were mine
Let's get together and perform for the last time
What are we waiting for?
Escape the numbness today
Believe me when I say that I love her
