Dark spots on the pages are marks of the love
That I tried to give but it wasn’t enough
Why must we feel the truth through our eyes
It seems like I’ve written you a hundred times before
‘Cause I don’t want to cage your heart, I want it to soar
But it’s engraved in your mind that you must stand by my side
But go ahead and leave me, I’m telling you you should
She’s gonna love you like I never could
Go ahead and leave me, tear me apart
I’ll tape up the pieces of my paper heart
You’ve been better to me than I ever deserved
And given me love that I can’t return
So I have to let go even though it hurts
Go ahead and leave me, I’m telling you you should
She’s gonna love you like I never could
Go ahead and leave me, tear me apart
I’ll tape up the pieces of my paper heart
I’m trying to give you heaven
By saying this farewell
I guess it’s just the silver lining
Of what feels like hell
Go ahead and leave me, I’m telling you you should
She’s gonna love you like I never could
Please just believe me, you’ve played your part
I can tape the pieces of my paper heart
Oh, I can tape the pieces of my paper heart
