Lyrics

IF YOU WERE PAPER
If you were paper, and I were glue
You know my love would surely stick to you
But you’re not paper and I’m not glue
And I can’t seem to change your point of view

More like water and oil
A magnet to your tin foil
You say goodbye I say hello
I run hot and you run cold
I bet again and you just fold
Why will you never look at me?

I m not the butter for your bread
You’d think by now I’d get that through my head
I sit and think of things I think you said
I know I’m trying to make gold out of lead

You give me the shivers I guess I give you the shakes
I’m stepping on the gas, while you’re slamming the brakes
I set my cap for you, no matter what it takes
Win or lose it’s the same to me in the big heartache
