i'm through with that girl
she gave me nothing and i gave her the world
in my heart i know that i'm better off without you
it took the girl of my dreams to see that dreams don't come true
 
my heart still burns like paper mache
and something's missing as you're slipping away
you live and you learn from your own stupid mistakes
the world turns and the sun sets and fades
 
i can't move on everything minds me of you
from the part in your hair to the soles of your shoes
it's killing me inside my broken heart i cannot hide
distractions blur you from my mind and i can unwind
 
i'm a pinata made of papermache
you tore me open and you shook me but nothing would rain
why do you keep swinging at me when i'm down on the ground
cries come out of my mouth but you just don't hear the sound
 
and my heart still burns like paper mache
and something's missing as you're slipping away
you live and you learn from your own stupid mistakes
the world turns and the sun sets and fades
 
the world turns and the sun sets and fades
the world turns and the sun sets and fades
the world turns
and the sun sets and fades
 
no longer thinking of you
and it feels so good
it's just like breathing a sigh of relief
when you're still living after your heart misses a beat
 
and i...
can't even look in your eyes anymore
can't even stand by your side anymore
can't even feel those good vibes anymore
cuz i...
won't get to make you smile anymore
won't have to lose my mind anymore
won't get those butterflies anymore
cuz i've...
lost you
