[Verse 1]
Thinkin' way too much
Can't even fill a paper cup
I can't make these things up
I swear I've had enough, you know
I'm stuck in the box
I've put myself in too long
I'm turning around
But I still find myself in the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Said you'd let me out
But it seems I've been here for some time
Don't get the things you say
The way you operate, no
I guess you should go
'Cause you openly just stay on my brain
So, it's not the time for you to leave
I don't even want you next to me
[Chorus]

I need to get back out
And live my life, and anyway
I'm blessed to hold up
I'm just trying to fill this paper cup
And now I'm a mess
Everyday I seem to cause me stress
[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to make a new start
So I can fill a paper cup
I wanna pour my heart
I wanna tell it to the stars
I wanna glow with fire
So I can leave it all behind
[Chorus]
I find it's getting harder to believe
That things change
The more you try and see
I can't pretend
That all this time I didn't see
I wasn't fine
With you living inside me
I find it's getting harder to believe
That things change
The more you try and see
I can't pretend
That all this time I didn't see
I wasn't fine
With you living inside me
‘Paper Cup’ is about me feeling overwhelmed by my thoughts and how that can often stop me from doing the simplest of things, for example just getting a cup of water to drink, that’s why it’s called paper cup. I would’ve just sung ‘cup’ but it sounded better with paper. I also really wanted to make a...
