LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bjorn Smit

(Verse 1)
We used to fold our dreams like notes
Passed in class and whispered quotes
You held my hand like I was gold
But now it’s slipping through the fold

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you love without regret
But some things tear when they get wet

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Drawn together, torn apart
You held mine with careless hands
And now I barely understand
Why something so light could break so hard
We were just... two paper hearts

(Verse 2)
You said forever like a song
But some sweet lines don’t last that long
I stayed and watched you drift away
Like ink that fades with light of day

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you all, I gave it true
But fragile things can’t stand abuse

(Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Crushed beneath the weight of stars
You held mine like it wouldn’t tear
But you forgot how soft things wear
And now I guard what once felt art
We were just... two paper hearts

(Bridge)
Maybe one day you will see
What you meant to me
But by then I’ll be
A little more than torn debris

(Final Chorus)
We were just two paper hearts
Born to burn, not built to last
Now I fold what's left of me
Into something only I can see
And carry on, though it still starts
With memories... of paper hearts

(Outro)
Just memories... of paper hearts...
