PAPER MASK – Lyrics ©2020 Alex Freeman Music Hide behind a paper mask Think of what we used to have Hoping that the grass is Greener on the other side Baby there’s no turning back Seems like all that we can do is laugh yeah Turning to a matter fact. Yeah. There’s no point in dwelling in the past yeah I’ve been falling into you I’ve been calling just to to hear you speak Chorus: I just want to know what you’re running from I just want to know where you’re coming from You know I hate it When you point the blame You and I we share the same pain I just wanna know where you’re coming from If I spend another day inside I’m worried that I’ll lose my mind Don’t even know what day it is I’ve stopped keeping track of time Maybe I can change your mind Show you that what’s yours is mine There’s no need to worry now Cause it seems like all we have is time Website: http://alexfreemanrocks.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfreemanrocks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexfreemanrocks/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexfreemanofficial Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/331bdNzsSEAAbzoFBD9rmi Label: I.C.O.N.
