wasting paper
(TANNA KEY, MONTY POWELL)
all you are to me is in paper and in pen
every little thing about you, every thought with or without you
the words flow like a river, the feeling’s like a flood
and God knows i can’t stop them and i wouldn’t if i could
chorus
so i just keep on wasting paper writing things you’ll never read
my heart is trapped inside these parallel lines that you won’t even see
my feelings felt but never spoken
open secrets brave and true
but you don’t even notice me
so what else can i do
but keep on wasting paper on you
keep on wasting paper on you
the ink runs like mascara as my first tears hit the page
til I can’t read the words “i love you,” or “how much i wanna touch you”
i can say it in a letter, but never could straight to your face
just another dreamer’s wishes, wadded up and thrown away
repeat chorus
and wasting love
oh i would write my name a thousand times
cause one look in your eyes would be enough
repeat chorus
