For A Second

(album: Paperman - 2018)

You got it good, don't ya
Acting like you don't know
What you did when I know
That you do, don't ya (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
I hope she's kind, I do
Cause you got some things
You could learn
If you open your mind, won't you (Mmh-mmh-mmh)

For a second you were mine, but
Maybe you were killing time, shine a light, oh
Wish that I could say I'm fine, but
I'm still running through your lies

At 2 in the morning
With a bottle of wine
A bittersweet movie
And one ugly cry
A strong cup of coffee
To steady my mind
I'm going through the motions
I know just what to do to get by
I know just what to do to get by, no
(I know just what to do to get by
I know just what to do to get by)

If I ever saw you, I hope
I'd throw you a smile
Never give you a chance
To feel sorry, I won't

For a second you were mine, but
Maybe you were killing time, shine a light, oh
Wish that I could say I'm fine, but
I'm still running through your lies

At 2 in the morning
With a bottle of wine
A bittersweet movie
And one ugly cry
A strong cup of coffee
To steady my mind
I'm going through the motions
I know just what to do to get by
I know just what to do to get by, no
