Folded me up to make me fit
Crisp and clean and white, so delicate
I played my part, I tried to be your paper doll
But you don't see me at all
Filled me with your words and it's hard to believe
Wrote me all my lines and we played out the scene
Lived in a paper world with you
But paper cranes don't sing
And paper lungs don't breathe
Paper hearts can't feel
I wanna bleed
Give me something real
'Cause paper hearts don't feel
Paper love won't grow
Gotta let you go, mm
Keep cutting out the things you hate
We quickly start to lose our shape
I didn't know that I would crumble at your touch
This paper life's not built for much
Filled me with your words and it's hard to believe
Wrote me all my lines and we played out the scene
Lived in a paper world with you
But paper cranes don't sing
And paper lungs don't breathe
Paper hearts can't feel
I wanna bleed
Give me something real
'Cause paper hearts don't feel
Paper love won't grow
Gotta let you go, mm
Gotta let you go, mm
'Cause paper cranes don't sing
And paper lungs don't breathe
Paper hearts can't feel
I wanna bleed
Give me something real
'Cause paper hearts don't feel
Paper love won't grow
