It Looked Good On Paper

(albüm: Outside The Box - 2022)

While packing my things I found your old letters
It's hard to believe how love has gone wrong
When inside I find words like always and forever
It's sad that they're not worth the paper they're on

It looked good on paper
But it all changed somehow
I know we both intended
To honor our vows
Now we're saying that we don't
After swearing we do
It looked good on paper
Now it looks like we're through

Three short years ago we made it all legal
It's tough to accept that it's all been erased
Cause some stiff collared lawyer and a judge in a courtroom
Turned a lifetime commitment into words on a page

It looked good on paper
But it all changed somehow
I know we both intended
To honor our vows
Now we're saying that we don't
After swearing we do
It looked good on paper
Now it looks like we're through
It looked good on paper
Now we're saying we're through
