《Paper Town》
Verse 1
You built a town with paper walls
I moved in with my suitcase and my doubts
You said"stay as long as you want"
But I should've known
paper burns when the sun comes out
I hung my clothes in your closet
Next to your favorite leather jacket
I thought that meant something
But it was just space you weren't using
Pre-Chorus
And I keep driving past the old address
Hoping the lights are on
But you're not there
You were never there
Chorus
Paper town, paper town
I built my whole world around you
Paper town, paper town
And now the rain is coming through
Paper town, paper town
I should've seen the cracks in the floor
Paper town, paper town
But I kept knocking on your door
Verse 2
You had a way of saying my name
Like it was temporary
Like I was just a guest
In a house that was never meant to last
I remember the night you told me
"Don't fall too hard"
I laughed and said"too late"
You didn't laugh back
Pre-Chorus
And I keep driving past the old address
Hoping the lights are on
But you're not there
You were never there
Chorus
Paper town, paper town
I built my whole world around you
Paper town, paper town
And now the rain is coming through
Paper town, paper town
I should've seen the cracks in the floor
Paper town, paper town
But I kept knocking on your door
Bridge
I don't blame you for leaving
I blame myself for staying
When every sign said"go"
I read it as"stay a little longer"
Final Chorus
Paper town, paper town
I built my whole world around you
Paper town, paper town
And now I'm standing in the ruins
Paper town, paper town
I should've known
paper burns
when the sun comes out
