Papercuts

[Verse 1]
You can't pretend 'cause I can see
You're not the boy you used to be
Trust me with a secret you can't keep
I watch your eyes — they shift with doubt
So every night, when stars come out
I try to read your personality

[Chorus]
The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
The things you miss out when you try to mislead
You said you wrote a page about me in your diary

[Verse 2]
Your heart, a place that no one sees
You can't disguise your own unease
Trust me with a secret you can't keep

[Chorus]
The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
The things you miss out when you try to mislead
You said you wrote a page about me in your diary

[Post-Chorus]
Don't be so afraid
There's bound to be a place
No matter who or where you are
You've got to be willing
You've got to be willing

[Chorus]
The writing for pleasure you wouldn't let me read
The things you miss out when you try to mislead
You said you wrote a page about me in your diary

[Post-Chorus]
Don't be so afraid
You're bound to make mistakes
No matter who or where you are
You've got to be willing

Don't be so afraid
There's bound to be a place
No matter who or where you are
You've got to be willing
You've got to be willing
