I know you'll never see
The way things were, the way they'll be
Because both ways look the same


And I can't block the thought
That you're still here, and that's not your fault
There's no one left to blame


You never touch the breeze
You just pick your time to leave


You never saw the sun
You never needed faith
They're only paper thin
The walls that keep us safe
You never touch the breeze
You never felt the cold
It's only paper thin
A life we try to hold


You don't do "going back"
And blaming fate you don't do that
You take it as it's served


And you just sit and wait
Absorb the news and tell things straight
It's more than we deserve
You never felt so old
You just need a hand to hold


You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within


You never saw the sun (You never saw the sun)
You never needed faith (You never needed faith)
They're only paper thin (They're only paper thin)
The walls that keep us safe (The walls that keep us safe)
You never touch the breeze (You never touch the breeze)
You never felt the cold (You never felt the cold)
It's only paper thin (It's only paper thin)
A life we try to hold (A life we try to hold)


Paper thin
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You just can't win
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never touch the breeze (You just can't win)
You just pick your time to leave
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never felt so old (You just can't win)
You just need a hand to hold
You' ve given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never touch the breeze (You just can't win)
You just pick your time to leave
You've given everything to keep the truth within
Paper thin
You never felt so old (You just can't win)
You just need a hand to hold
You' ve given everything to keep the truth within...
