Paperweight Lyrics

Thought you were my heavyweight champion

Lifting me up, all that handling

Doing it so well, but I didn't know

I wasn't your anchor, a heavy load

I was just a pebble on the dirty road

Good for kicking aside, let me go

If there's one thing I know by now

It's no one stays if they're not tied down

So I guess I should give up placing blame

'Cause love is just a game

That no one knows how the hell to play

I'm sittin' on the sidelines

Wishing for somebody I could lose by

And love just comes in waves

You dive right in just to sink one day

And I wonder if I'm going under like a paperweight

So maybe I'm a little bit small and confused

But I don't know what I ever did to you

Gave it all up, broke every rule

Forgot that I was falling, started falling for you

Now it's falling away

And I'm bruised

If there's one thing I know by now

It's no one stays if they're not nailed down

So I guess I should've put it all in writing

Or something

'Cause love is just a game

That no one knows how the hell to play

I'm sitting on the sidelines

Wishing for somebody I could lose by

And love is just a flame

We all get burned just to feel something

It's no wonder that I'm going under

Like a paperweight,

A paperweight, feeling like a paperweight

Thought I was the crowned jewel in your treasure vault

A cornerstone on your castle wall

A precious metal in your faultline

Until you threw me to the combine

I thought I was the diamond in your debris

But I'm only glass it's clear to see

One blow is all it takes

To break me

Love is just a game

That no one knows how the hell to play

I'm sitting on the sidelines

And I've accepted I lose, I tried

Love is just a phase

I fell right through, trying to find my way

And I'm under, baby I wonder

If this is it

All there is

You were all there was

Sitting on the sidelines

You were all there was

Threw me to the combine

You were all there was

Stumbled on a faultline

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was

Sitting on the sidelines

You were all there was

Threw me to the combine

You were all there was

Stumbled on a faultline

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was

You were all there was
