Small paper planes and wallpaper stains
That the pictures can hardly conceal
Love letters bent from tears that were spent
On a cruel and shabby ideal
But love set fire to everything
And the flames looked like angel's wings
We played our parts with paper hearts
And love set fire to everything
I know that it's wrong to stay here this long
Haunted by all of her things
I found out too late only fools feel safe
In a house made of jokers and kings
But love set fire to everything
And the flames looked like angel's wings
We played our parts with paper hearts
And love set fire to everything
I've tried to escape her and these bits of paper
But the memories I just can't outrun
So I keep lighting matches, when one of them catches
This thing will finally be done
And love set fire to everything
And the flames looked like angel's wings
We played our parts with paper hearts
And love set fire to everything
