lyrics

Filling up the red lines
This plan piece turns to black
Words never looked so dark
They turn all hope I had
I write down every sweet word you say
Until my hand fell limp and dead
Love and lust at first sight
Never thought I'd buy into that

On paper we're not so divine,
Throw it all into a fire
Words don't fill me with desire
On paper I am wasting my time
Not a single word makes since
With your actions I'm convinced
Ive done good enough on paper
Now I wanna try bad

Morning sun arises
I begin to write again
Bad ideas become reality
When I see them come from my own hand
These words should turn me running
Back to a love of safety
But as the saying goes my dear
Well behaved girls don't make history

On paper we're not so divine,
Throw it all into a fire
Words don't fill me with desire
On paper I am wasting my time
Not a single word makes since
With your actions I'm convinced
Ive done good enough on paper
Now I wanna try bad

Who do you think you are
Showing me my good enough's
Not good enough for me
Who do you think you are
Come in up in here
And let passion set me free

A love that is safe
is what we're all looking for
but a love without passion
is a death sentence for sure

On paper we're not so divine,
Throw it all into a fire
Words don't fill me with desire
On paper I am wasting time
Not a single word makes since
With your actions I'm convinced
Ive done good enough on paper
Now I wanna try bad
