Remember what I told you yesterday
I said you were a paper boat that drifted far away
I thought you’d left me here in disarray
But maybe all along it was me that went astray

I was that paper boat
I sailed on out to sea
You watched me as went
You waited patiently
And as I tried to say afloat
I still thought honestly
That you drifted far away
I didn’t know that it was me

And if I sailed back to your shore
Would you still be waiting there?
Would you know me anymore?
Would you even care?

I was that paper boat
I sailed on out to sea
You watched me as went
You waited patiently
And as I tried to say afloat
I still thought honestly
That you drifted far away
I didn’t know that it was me

I’ve not lived for very long
And I still find it hard to say when I’ve been wrong
But now I realise I’m not that strong
And it was me who did the drifting all along
