Lyrics
FOUR PIECES OF PAPER
Well the first one it says Steven, he won't be home tonight
You know Steven, he was no friend to me
And the second it says Alice, do you think I'm doing right
Well Alice was such good company
And the third one it says Sis, can we use your bed today
Good old Sis, she'd always lend a helping hand
And the last one it says Jackson, I'm going away
Try to face it, try to bear up like a man
(Chorus)
Four pieces of paper next to my heart
Four pieces of paper that tear me apart
Well I love you and I miss you and I miss you still
But these pieces of paper have hardened my will
Well now Steven wouldn't tell me
And you know Alice never could
And your sister
She's no lady it's plain to see
Yes you're really quite a schemer
And if heaven has its way
You'll just scheme along
Til you meet your match some day
Chorus
It's hard to keep going when I can't stand the knowing
But these pieces of paper have hardened my will
Chorus
These pieces of paper have hardened my will
