Paper promises I make

[Verse 1]
Pen between my fingers
Blank page stares back
Words I want to tell you
Never find their track

[Chorus]
Paper promises I make
Silent syllables I break
Maybe tomorrow knows my name
Maybe yesterday's the same

[Verse 2]
Coffee cup grows colder
Morning slips away
Letters left unwritten
Nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Fold them up
Tuck them down
Keep them close
Safe and sound

[Chorus]
Paper promises I make
Silent syllables I break
Maybe tomorrow knows my name
Maybe yesterday's the same

[Bridge]
Someday soon I'll send them
All these half-formed thoughts
Till then they wait in silence
For the courage that I've not

[Chorus]
Paper promises I make
Silent syllables I break
Maybe tomorrow knows my name
Maybe yesterday's the same

[Outro]
Pen between my fingers
Page still blank and white
