I sold my name for a plastic crown While you were watching from the side I let the neon drag me down Another place for me to hide The lights are bright, but they burn so cold A million lies that I have told But in the dark, where the shadows creep You are the secret that I keep Call me a liar, call me a thief I stole your heart to find relief But when the curtain hits the floor I don't want the applause no more No, I don't want the noise to win I just want the silence, paper thin Where you end and I begin... They paint a smile upon my face A stranger in a crowded place I say the words they want to hear While you are standing, silent, near I denied the fire, I denied the spark Left you standing in the dark But darling, listen to these strings Truth is a bird with broken wings Call me a liar, call me a thief! I stole your heart to find relief! But when the curtain hits the floor I don't want the applause no more! No, I don't want the noise to win! I just want the silence, paper thin! Where you end and I begin... The cameras don't see. The man that I bleed. They only see the ghost. BUT I NEED YOU THE MOST! YEAH, I NEED YOU THE MOST! Paper thin... Just paper thin...
