Paper Hearts

[Verse 1]
You left your keys by the bowl
And my name on the note
Blue ink, crooked smile
Still hanging on my coat
I tried to act so cool
But the room said it first
Your laugh in the hallway
Got me back in reverse

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my hands shake
When the phone goes off
I play it brave
Then I fall apart
One more text
And I’m gone again
You know the way
You get under my skin

[Chorus]
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You make me fall apart
Paper hearts, paper hearts
Right back at the start
Say my name
I’m already there
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You know I still care

[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like that rain
I keep it for a while
Then I fold it again
We talk like nothing hurts
But the truth comes through
In the pause between words
It’s all still you

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my hands shake
When the phone goes off
I play it brave
Then I fall apart
One more text
And I’m gone again
You know the way
You get under my skin

[Chorus]
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You make me fall apart
Paper hearts, paper hearts
Right back at the start
Say my name
I’m already there
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You know I still care

[Bridge]
Maybe we burned too fast
Maybe we held on tight
Maybe some things don’t last
But they still feel right
If you come back round
Don’t say a word
Just look at me now
Like I still belong first

[Final Chorus]
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You make me fall apart
Paper hearts, paper hearts
Right back at the start
Say my name
I’m already there
Paper hearts, paper hearts
You know I still care
