lyrics

holding onto something paper thin will only give you paper cuts
wincing smiles, aching guts, my heart is torn with paper cuts

I ruin everything, it ruins me
sympathies are stretched out 'til they break
I've tried so hard, broke my back
but I am not enough,
I'm not enough,
I'm not enough,
I'm not enough

hiding under covers, don't feel my skin
heat radiates but the thoughts are trapped within
hold me down 'til I can't breathe
smothered, but I can't face relief

I ruin everything, it ruins me
sympathies are stretches out 'til they break
I've tried so hard, broke my back
But I am not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough

I'll push through the braces to reach out and touch you
you'll tell me my hands too cold
you'll tell me that I'm too old to feel this scared
how can I offer you a body I dream of escaping?
my skin as thin as paper,
I'll give you paper cuts.

I ruin everything, it ruins me
sympathies are stretches out 'til they break
I've tried so hard, broke my back
But I am not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough
I'm not enough (x a lot)
