paper hearts

Verse 1: Sitting in my room, the shadows creep Echoes of our laughter, now I can't sleep You said forever, but forever's just a word Now I'm left picking up pieces that you blurred Pre-Chorus: You played me like a doll, stitched with your lies But now I'm taking back my heart, cutting all ties Chorus: Paper hearts and porcelain tears You can't hold me down with all your fears I'll dance in the rain, wash away the pain I'm stronger now, no longer your refrain Verse 2: Candy-coated promises, they taste so sweet But underneath the sugar, there's deceit You dressed me up in pretty pastels But I see through the cracks of your fairytales Pre-Chorus: You played me like a doll, stitched with your lies But now I'm taking back my heart, cutting all ties Chorus: Paper hearts and porcelain tears You can't hold me down with all your fears I'll dance in the rain, wash away the pain I'm stronger now, no longer your refrain Bridge: I'll build a castle from the wreckage you left Crown myself queen, of the kingdom bereft No more puppet strings, no more your games I'm rewriting the story, with my own name Chorus: Paper hearts and porcelain tears You can't hold me down with all your fears I'll dance in the rain, wash away the pain I'm stronger now, no longer your refrain Outro: The music box plays, but I won't spin I've found my voice, let the healing begin From paper hearts and porcelain tears I'll rise above, conquer my fears
