(Verse 1) You folded words like origami dreams Promised me love, but you tore at the seams Every sweet nothing, a brittle cliché Now all your echoes are blowing away (Pre-Chorus) I held on tight to a fairytale But the ink was running dry (Chorus) Paper heart, cut so clean Crumpled up between your hands and my dreams Flames rise high, watch it burn Lesson learned—love was never my concern (Verse 2) You spoke in verses, but they felt so thin Every "forever" was paper-thin Tangled in ribbons, tied up in lies Now I’m unraveling, saying goodbye (Pre-Chorus) I held on tight to a fairytale But the ink was running dry (Chorus) Paper heart, cut so clean Crumpled up between your hands and my dreams Flames rise high, watch it burn Lesson learned—love was never my concern (Bridge) You thought I’d break like a love-struck fool But I bend, I fold, then I rise brand new You thought I’d break like a love-struck fool But I bend, I fold, then I rise brand new (Chorus) Paper heart, cut so clean Crumpled up between your hands and my dreams Flames rise high, watch it burn Lesson learned—love was never my concern (Outro) Paper heart, paper love Turns to ash when push comes to shove Paper heart, paper love Turns to ash when push comes to shove
