lyrics

Bright eyes, you can't see beyond the stage lights
illuminating what is outside
but you don't know me at all
You call me untamed
If I'm a rockstar where's the cocaine?
Wheres the grammies and the fake name?
You've set me up to fall

You see me standing tall
but you never see me fall
behind the curtain of it all
all I have's the songs I sing
I'm barely flying with paper wings

So baby, what's this pedestal you've made me?
I can't stand up there, don't make me
I'm not fit to grace your stage

...with paper wings that fly from the bright stage
as the naive audience applauds
but as the encore ends and the lights fade
I'm barley holding on
and I don't have a chance here at all

You see me standing tall
but you never see me fall, yeah
behind the curtain of it all
all I have's the songs I sing
and my wilted, beaten, tired paper wings
