paper heart Lyrics

I hold my heart like a fragile thing, Scared to let it feel, scared to let it sing

Every tear is a story untold, Of how I learned to fear the cold

I built these walls to keep me safe, But all they do is isolate

I want to trust, but I pull away, Afraid of the cost I'll have to pay

I've got a paper heart, it tears so fast, Fragile dreams that never last

But if you're careful, if you're kind, Maybe you can mend what's left behind

Every word feels like a risk to take, Every moment, a chance to break

But your hands are soft, your voice is low

Maybe love is something I can know

I'm trying hard to let you in, But fear is louder than it's ever been

I want to trust, but I pull away, Afraid of the cost I'll have to pay

I've got a paper heart, it tears so fast, Fragile dreams that never last

But if you're careful, if you're kind, Maybe you can mend what's left behind

So hold me close, but not too tight, And maybe I'll believe in love tonight

I've got a paper heart, but I'll let it show

If you promise to take it slow.
