paper man

Sometimes a chance can pass
a passion that should be seen
sometimes what we look for
is the one thing not seen

when it seems a chance is past
a moment, time to make a choice
that may save the best for last
regrets or love all you have

I remember each time you came to me
when the dead end let you bleed
I was there to help you through
remembered how you broke my heart
I wondered what was wrong with you

nothing has ever gone how I planned
a broken man can you understand
all my pieces put together for you
a paper man to help you stand

there were times when i had one wish
you would tell me your heart was true
you would shine your eyes with a smile
somehow it was enough with you

stand there with me face to face
cause my love this is a crazy place
so take my hand and be my shore
or burn this paper man once more

maybe once more a chance may pass
will you save the best for last
or watch the paper man burning
in your hands
