Verse 1 You said you needed space to breathe Now I’m staring at the ceiling like it’s pulling shapes of you from me I try to keep my heartbeat slow But it’s racing through the quiet like it doesn’t wanna let you go Pre-Chorus Every night’s a rerun Of the moment you walked away And I hate that I still feel you Every time the lights fade Chorus We built our dreams on paper skies One tear, and everything divides I’m holding on but you’re long gone Leaving shadows in my mind I’m trying hard to draw the line Between your truth and all your lies But I still fall every time Under our ruined paper skies Verse 2 Your sweater’s hanging on the chair Like it’s waiting for the version of you who used to care I tell myself I’ll leave it soon But it feels like letting go of something I’m not ready to lose Pre-Chorus Every night’s a rerun Of the moment you walked away And I hate that I still feel you Every time the lights fade Chorus We built our dreams on paper skies One tear, and everything divides I’m holding on but you’re long gone Leaving shadows in my mind I’m trying hard to draw the line Between your truth and all your lies But I still fall every time Under our ruined paper skies Bridge Maybe someday I’ll feel lighter Maybe someday I’ll forget But tonight I’m just a fighter Punching walls with my regret Final Chorus We built our dreams on paper skies And it broke right in my hands Now I’m walking through the silence Trying hard to understand Why I still fall every time Even knowing it’s goodbye Yeah, I’m lost beneath the pieces Of our ruined paper skies
