Paper Napkins

Well good times are paper napkins
Stained and smothered in lipstick and cologne
I sit awake at night waiting by the phone

Well, love is lemon-tart; sweet but so sour
And hearts are so brittle when they aren't well kept
You chipped away at mine while I slept

The days they're like months
They fly by so slow
I say "I love you" you say "I just don't know"

The breeze isn't freezing but it blows away my soul
It gives me a tingling sensation and makes me cold as the snow

We've wasted so much time but what do I have to show?

Wood-chips fill up the yard
The grass it is dying; it can't make it through
I just hope I'm not smothering you

I'm just so helpless
I go where I'm led
Sometimes its like I'm better off dead

Lately the sunshine is thick but it feels just like rain
I can't see the light through all of my pain

I sit alone in middle of the night
I want you to love me
What about that isn't right?

But still I'm alone
I stay awake all night by the phone
Months feel like years
They fly by so slow
I say "I love you" you say "I just don't know"
