We built a castle made of cards
Right here in the backyard
Thought we could weather any storm
Keep each other safe and warm
But the wind began to blow
And the foundation started to go
We’re tearing paper hearts in two
Me and you
Fragile things that break so fast
Did we really think that this would last?
Scattered pieces on the floor
Walking out the open door
With paper hearts
I tried to tape it back together
But nothing truly lasts forever
The edges are all rough and torn
I wish that I was never born
To feel a cut as deep as this
Sealed with a final kiss
We’re tearing paper hearts in two
Me and you
Fragile things that break so fast
Did we really think that this would last?
Scattered pieces on the floor
Walking out the open door
With paper hearts
Soft as a whisper
Sharp as a knife
The story of my life
Just paper.
Paper hearts.
