Paperweight

Digging through an attic space
Found the centerpiece
Of my trophy case half full
My mistakes come pouring back
All the days I threw into the blackest hole
When the undertow pulled me below
I drank up hope till one day I let go
Our ship has sailed it's my fault we failed

Just a paperweight as I waste away
She's says I'm living without you

My age of reason came too late
I don't blame you I wouldn't wait for me
I'm thankful that these walls can't talk
I forgave myself I can finally walk away
The message in the bottle says
I'll be on dry land if I ever sail again
What I put in me put you through hell
Can't stop what you shouldn't start

Just a paperweight as I waste away
She says I'm living without you
Just a twist of fate another fade away
She says I'm better off with you

For all of those years
I was in love with a lie
She was in love with liar

Just a paperweight as I waste away
She says I'm living without you
Just a twist of fate another fade away
And now she's better off without me anyway

What I put in me put you through hell
Can't stop what you shouldn't start
Alright, the fight, came in on cue
The night my light went out in you
