Me.me - paperheart

[Romanization]

You said forever in a quiet tone
Soft promises drifting like smoke
We traced our names across the window glass
But I forgot them just as fast
I hold the pieces of what we dreamed
They cut me every time I breathe
Was that the color in your world
Or just a ghost inside your sheets?

And I pretend I'm fine
But I'm breaking the silence
You never had to try
To leave me where you left me

Paper heart, tearing slow
Trying to love what you could let go
Bittersweet like cherry wine
Staying soft but tasting ripe
Paper heart, folding in
You were love and you were sin
Hold me close then tear apart
I still bleed from this paper heart

City lights blur with every tear
Your shadow lingers everywhere
I wear your memory on my skin
Like perfume that won't disappear
You loved like thunder, soft then loud
A hurricane in line a cloud
I wish I could hate you, but I can't
Your name is where my pulse still hurts

And I pretend I'm fine
But I'm breaking the silence
You never had to try
To leave me where you left me

Paper heart, tearing slow
Trying to love what you could let go
Bittersweet like cherry wine
Staying soft but tasting ripe
Paper heart, folding in
You were love and you were sin
Hold me close then tear apart
I still bleed from this paper heart

It's one I'd still choose to make
Fall again in your embrace
Just to see your face

Paper heart, falling through
Every tear still leads to you
Bittersweet one final taste
I can't forget what I can't replace
Paper heart, breaking now
Soft goodbye without a sound
Even if we're worlds apart
I will keep this paper heart
My paper heart
