she tells her stories of me on clean sheets

as we're lying in this bed

and thoughts of her days last cigarette

come stream around my head

and i can't believe i let her go

never told her everything that i wanted her to know

and i can't believe i let her fly

never told her goodbye

don't hold me down

don't pick me up

my life is torn into a paper cup

and i don't know why i don't know why

she told me she loved me before she went

and got onto that plane

but she's with her other boyfriend and friends

and it's driving me insane

i can't believe i let her go

never told her everything that i wanted her to know

i can't believe i let her fly

never told them goodbye

don't hold me down don't rip me up

my life is torn into a paper cup

and i don't know why i don't know why

she told me she loved me before she went

and got onto that plane

but she's with her other boyfriend and friends

and it's driving me insane

i can't believe i let her go

never told her everything that i wanted her to know

i can't believe i let her fly

never told her goodbye

don't hold me down don't pick me up

my life is torn into a paper cup

and i don't know why i don't know why
