[Verse 1] You left your mark on my door A lipstick line on the glass I tried to wash it away But it keeps coming back
My phone buzzed once, then stopped Like you knew what to do Now every room I walk through Still feels a little like you
[Pre-Chorus] I said I’m fine I said I’m good But my hands shake In the way they should
One little spark And I fall apart You got a match To my paper heart
[Chorus] Paper heart, paper heart You tore me slow Paper heart, paper heart I should let go But when you call I come alive Paper heart, paper heart Burns so bright
(Paper heart) (Paper heart)
[Verse 2] I found your note in my coat Folded up neat in the seam Three little words in blue ink Still pulling at me
I keep the light on low Like you might come around And every step down the hall Sounds like you on the ground
[Pre-Chorus] I said I’m fine I said I’m good But my hands shake In the way they should
One little spark And I fall apart You got a match To my paper heart
[Chorus] Paper heart, paper heart You tore me slow Paper heart, paper heart I should let go But when you call I come alive Paper heart, paper heart Burns so bright
(Paper heart) (Paper heart)
[Bridge] Tell me I’m not too far gone Tell me I can still be strong I keep your name in the dark Right where it cuts Right where it starts
[Final Chorus] Paper heart, paper heart You tore me slow Paper heart, paper heart I should let go But when you call I come alive Paper heart, paper heart Burns so bright
(Paper heart) (Paper heart)
