I built a fortress out of playlists and"I'm fines"
Stacked my schedule just to numb what's on my mind
I laugh loud in every room
But when I'm home, it's just me and the gloom
I've got filters, filters on filters
Hiding truth in captions and scriptures
But none of it's strong enough
To keep You from calling my bluff
I keep pretending I'm okay
But You see through me anyway
These walls are paper, You walk right through
You know every part I hide from You
My strength is fragile, my smile's fake gold
But You love me deep, even when I fold
No use in pretending, You see it all
I'm done with the mask, done with the stall
You still choose me, You still call
Even behind my paper walls
I tried therapy, podcasts, crystals and sage
Tried manifesting peace, but I'm still in the cage
I light candles and hope they burn
But what I need is just to unlearn
That I have to be perfect to be pursued
That I can't come to You unless I'm"new"
But You loved me at my worst
Before I even learned a verse
I keep pretending I'm okay
But You see through me anyway
These walls are paper, You walk right through
You know every part I hide from You
My strength is fragile, my smile's fake gold
But You love me deep, even when I fold
No use in pretending, You see it all
I'm done with the mask, done with the stall
You still choose me, You still call
Even behind my paper walls
If I fall apart tonight, would You stay?
If I said the truth out loud, would You run away?
But I already know what You'd say—
"I saw you broken... and I came anyway"
These walls are paper, You walk right through
You know every part I hide from You
My strength is fragile, my smile's fake gold
But You love me deep, even when I fold
No use in pretending, You see it all
I'm done with the mask, done with the stall
You still choose me, You still call
Even behind my paper walls
These walls are paper, You walk right through
You know every part I hide from You
(Yeah You do)
My strength is fragile, my smile's fake gold
But You love me deep, even when I fold
No use in pretending, You see it all
I'm done with the mask, done with the stall
You still choose me, You still call
Even behind my paper walls
Even behind my paper walls
Yeah, You see through it all
