[Verse 1]
I see the mirror but I look away
Don’t like the stranger I face every day
I laugh at the jokes but I’m not okay
Why’s it so hard just to feel the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’m golden, you say I shine
But I can’t believe you, not this time
I’m stuck in a loop I can’t unwind
Wishing that I could rewind
[Chorus]
’Cause I feel paper thin, like I’m see-through
Tryna be enough, but I’m never you
You got the stars, I’m just the space
Trying to matter, out of place
And I don’t know if I’ll ever win
’Cause I just feel—paper thin
[Verse 2]
Smiles in photos, but it’s pretend
They love the highlight, not who I am
I keep it quiet, I play the friend
But I break a little now and then
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’m strong, but you don’t see
The weight of always feeling “least”
I’m shouting loud in silent screams
Caught inside forgotten dreams
[Chorus]
’Cause I feel paper thin, like I’m see-through
Tryna be enough, but I’m never you
You got the stars, I’m just the space
Trying to matter, out of place
And I don’t know if I’ll ever win
’Cause I just feel—paper thin
[Bridge]
What if I was worth the time?
What if I could change your mind?
Maybe I could breathe again
If someone saw the mess I’m in
[Final Chorus]
But I feel paper thin, like I’m fading
Fighting for a love that’s breaking
You got the fire, I’m just the smoke
Hiding behind every joke
And I don’t know if I’ll ever win
’Cause I just feel—paper thin
