Paper Tiger
Doing good, doing great
That's what you say to yourself
When you're lonely
Show any sign of weakness
And everybody will be able to tell that you're lying
I'm being honest right now
I can see you getting closer
My first instinct is to run away
But you're right here
I'm acting tough, but I'm a poser
Does anyone believe it when I say
I know you're trying to make me hurt
Watch out, I've got an open flame and I'm not afraid to burn
If I'm ignited, I'll fly away
For however long I like, cause I can take the pain
Open mic and a liquor store
That's all that I can recall before
You punched my lights out
I'm not a lover or a fighter
But I've got the eye of the teenager that can't control his mouth
I can feel my body aching
I can't remember why, you can't say it to my face
I've lost track of how many hits I've taken
You'd better believe it when I say
I know you're trying to make me hurt
What out, I've got an open flame and I'm not afraid to burn
If I'm ignited, I'll fly away
For however long I like, cause I can take the pain
You may now begin to try and wear me down and out and thin
Paper tiger, don't forget
To knock 'em down, oh, knock 'em dead
That's what you say to yourself
When you're lonely
Show any sign of weakness
And everybody will be able to tell that you're lying
I'm being honest right now
I can see you getting closer
My first instinct is to run away
But you're right here
I'm acting tough, but I'm a poser
Does anyone believe it when I say
I know you're trying to make me hurt
Watch out, I've got an open flame and I'm not afraid to burn
If I'm ignited, I'll fly away
For however long I like, cause I can take the pain
Open mic and a liquor store
That's all that I can recall before
You punched my lights out
I'm not a lover or a fighter
But I've got the eye of the teenager that can't control his mouth
I can feel my body aching
I can't remember why, you can't say it to my face
I've lost track of how many hits I've taken
You'd better believe it when I say
I know you're trying to make me hurt
What out, I've got an open flame and I'm not afraid to burn
If I'm ignited, I'll fly away
For however long I like, cause I can take the pain
You may now begin to try and wear me down and out and thin
Paper tiger, don't forget
To knock 'em down, oh, knock 'em dead
