Paper Cup Lyrics by Thomas Day
[Verse 1]
I thought that I let you go when I wanted
But I can still feel your hands in my pockets
Too young to think there's a chance I could lose it
Well, I took the chance, now I'm covered in bruises
[Chorus]
Now I get afraid thinking 'bout the way it was
Wonder if you moved on? Why I can't give you up?
Do you feel the same knowing that our bodies touched?
And I threw it all away like coffee in a paper cup
[Verse 2]
That's the most beautiful thing about the first time
You don't know what you have until you've crossed the line
And you're floating in space on a spinning planet
Oh, and trust is just something you take for granted
[Chorus]
Now I get afraid thinking 'bout the way it was
Wonder if you moved on? Why I can't give you up?
Do you feel the same knowing that our bodies touched?
And I threw it all away like coffee in a paper cup
[Bridge]
That's how I was raised, that's how it was done
It breaks, then you just get another one
But what do you do when you lose your best friend?
[Outro]
Now I get afraid thinking 'bout the way it was
Wonder if you've moved on? Why I can't give you up?
Do you feel the same knowing that our bodies touched?
Knowin' you had to leave for me to call it love
