Paper Mansions

Don't build for me no paper mansions that only stand until you've gone

You've paint the nasiest futures of anyone I know

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow

You've built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seemed so strong

But they're always made of paper not of stone

Don't build for me no paper mansion that I can never call my own

For love can't live in paper mansions that only stand until you've gone

You've always been a dreamer dear and I'm a dreamer too

But I guess I've had too many of the time that don't come true

So don't build me no mansion with paper walls so thin

That only stand until you leave again

Don't build for me
