Paper Crowns Lyrics

Tell me one more lie and I won't bother you anymore

Tell me you love me as much as you loved me before

And I'll stick around, foolishly believe in you

Barely holding on, held together, tape and glue

Wondering how we got in this argument in the first place

We go through this again

I'm taking back all of the things I say

The more you talk the more I think I need you

When will I learn not to believe you

Can we sit here and pretend that it's perfect

And whatever you said, I deserved it

Cause it's just easier this way

Don't find someone to take my place

And I'll tear myself away

Cause tomorrow's a brand new day

Pretend that we've built up this castle

And the walls falling down aren't colossal

Pretend it's sunny every day

When in reality it's grey

And the rain washes away

And disintegrates the paper crowns we've made

Tomorrow you'll say that you've changed

And you'll beg me to hold on just for another day

You'll prove how the last fight was the last

While I'm cutting my feet on all of this broken glass

You made me think I can't live without you

Clutching the sink as my tears hit the tile in the bathroom

This scene's becoming all too common

While you tell all our friends that I'm the one who lost it

So can we sit here and pretend that it's perfect

And whatever you said, I deserved it

Cause it's just easier this way

Don't find someone to take my place

And I'll tear myself away

Cause tomorrow's a brand new day

Pretend that we've built up this castle

And the walls falling down aren't colossal

Pretend it's sunny every day

When in reality it's grey

And the rain's washing away

And disintegrating the paper crowns we've made

I'm tired of pretending that we've built up this castle

When the walls falling down are colossal

Pretend it's sunny every day

When in reality it's grey

And this rain's washing away

And disintegrating the paper crowns we've made

Paper crowns we've made
