Paper Wings Lyrics

Your pathetic your fucking weak
And I'm sick of it all
Social anesthetic of people you bleed
And I'm sick of it all
Your unapologetic even though you shouldn't be
And I'm sick of it all
You just don't get it and you never did
And I'm sick of it all

Falling faster to the end
Sick of it all

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

You cut me so fucking deep
And I'm sick of it all
You fucking drained me and I can't breathe
And I'm sick of it all
I break down on my knees
And I'm sick of it all
Your so unreal how just don't get it
And I'm sick of it all

Falling faster to the end
Sick of it all

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

I can't go on like this
Not even one more day
I can't go on like this
I can't go on

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

Falling faster to the end
Sick of it all

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

Falling faster to the end
Sick of it all

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

I can't go on like this
Not even one more day
I can't go on like this
I can't go on

The weight of your sorrow
Make some paper wings and learn to fly
If there's no tomorrow
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye
Burn your paper wings and say goodbye

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Social anesthetic of the people you BLEED (not breed, context clues tell me this makes more sense )

"Your UNAPOLOGETIC even though you shouldn't be" (not apologetic) clearly says unapologetic, maybe you just had a typo?

"You fucking DRAINED me and I can't breathe" (not drugged)

i can totally understand what the song means..its about falling in love with the wrong person,a weak one. and your love is so strong that anything hurts her/him hurts u too..so now u convince urself that its enough and ur getting sick of how weak is ur partner and how hopeless she/he is. so u tell him go kill urself if ur that hopeless..because u r skick of getting hurt just because ur heart is bound to this weak person u love..but deep down u r just trying to encourage her/him to be tough and strong a little bit
