Cauterize - Paper Wings Lyrics

Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
Coat hanger halo got rusted.
The lace fell off of the dress you made.
You're the saddest little angel,
Mascara left a sour taste.

And I wish that I was there
When you took that fall
I'm too weak to pick you up,
But I would have lay down
In this puddle beside you,
�Cause it's all that I can do
I didn't have the heart to tell you,
It's really bad,
It's really bad this time.

Like wild horses running scared
From a storm that's too much to bare.
It's sad the things you used to fear
Don't seem so bad
They're not so bad,
Don't let them scare you.

I pushed your bed to the window today
You're still not well enough,
Turned visitors away
I fight these tears by your bedside
How dare I let you see me cry
I didn't have the heart to tell you,
It's really bad
It's really bad this time

Your wings weren't meant for this,
This weather that no one guessed
No calm before the storm
And it's gone before the panic sets
So let's take our time with this
Bleach the mud from off your dress
You much such an innocent mess of all of this

And I wish that I was there
When you took that fall
I'm too weak to pick you up,
But I would have lay down
In this puddle beside you,
�Cause it's all that I can do
I didn't have the heart to tell you,
It's really bad,
It's really bad this time.
