Paper
Words and music by Jenn Lindsay


I wrote it on the paper
I pushed it across the table
I didn’t have to say it
I don’t think I was able to.

It’ll be fine
It’ll be fine
and you held me for a long time
you asked if it was your fault
it’s no one’s but mine
i will do it right next time,

I cleaned my desk out
when they told me to get out
no chance of a last chance
just clean up and pack out

Someone said, don’t be afraid,
reminded me that nobody’d died.
clean up, pack out, don’t look back now
leave us for the last time

and i guess that i was down
i guess i wasn’t keeping it together that day
my smile upside down
it always gets stuck that way

I wrote it on the paper
I pushed it across the table
I didn’t have to say it
I don’t think I was able to.

It’ll be fine
It’ll be fine
and you held me for a long time
it’s not your fault
it’s no one’s but mine
i will do it right next time,
all i can do is--
