Paper Walls

Verse 1: Built my world on paper walls, Lines and promises bound to fall. Every word I wrote was meant to last, But ink runs dry and dreams move fast. Told myself it wouldn’t tear, But the weight was more than I could bear. These paper walls are crumbling down, Folded corners, falling sound. I tried to hold it all in place, But the rain came through, left no trace. I tried to hold it all in place, But the rain came through, left no trace. Paper walls, fragile and thin, Built to break, but I let you in. Verse 2: I traced the cracks with steady hands, Pretending I could understand. But truth’s a flame that burns too bright, And paper walls don’t win that fight. Pre-Chorus: I tried to patch the tears with hope, But every seam just came unsewn. Chorus: These paper walls are crumbling down, Folded corners, falling sound. I tried to hold it all in place, But the rain came through, left no trace. Paper walls, fragile and thin, Built to break, but I let you in. Bridge: Let the pieces hit the floor, I don’t need them anymore. From the ruins, I will rise, No more hiding, no disguise. Final Chorus (stronger, bigger): These paper walls are falling down, But I’m still here, I won’t drown. Let the storm come, let it tear, I’ll find freedom in the air. Paper walls, fragile and thin, Built to break — but I’ll begin. Built to break... so I could begin.
