Paper Hearts
by Jay-P
Lyrics
Verse 1
You left your scarf on my chair
Blue thread, soft and worn
I still fold it in half
Like it keeps you warm
Your name on my phone
Still lights up the room
I stare at the screen
Like it might talk soon
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, are we done?
Or just under the dust?
My hand still reaches
For what we were
Chorus
Paper hearts, we burned too fast
(we burned too fast)
Hold me once, make it last
(make it last)
Paper hearts, don't fall apart
(don't fall apart)
If you leave, leave a mark
Verse 2
I found your lip balm
In the car door crack
Mint on my fingers
Pulled the whole night back
You said "stay easy"
I said "I can try"
But I kept on breaking
Every time you sighed
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, are we done?
Or just under the dust?
My hand still reaches
For what we were
Chorus
Paper hearts, we burned too fast
(we burned too fast)
Hold me once, make it last
(make it last)
Paper hearts, don't fall apart
(don't fall apart)
If you leave, leave a mark
Bridge
If I let go
Will I lose the proof?
Of your jacket by the door
And the rain on the roof
If I let go
Will it cut me clean?
Or keep your shadow
In the seams of me
Final Chorus
Paper hearts, we burned too fast
(we burned too fast)
Hold me once, make it last
(make it last)
Paper hearts, don't fall apart
(don't fall apart)
If you leave, leave a mark
Paper hearts, we burned too fast
(we burned too fast)
Hold me once, make it last
(make it last)
Paper hearts, don't fall apart
(don't fall apart)
If you leave, leave a mark
