You tell me love is blind
That only hearts decide
But did you see a shooting star that made you change your mind?
Wanting gold is fine
Baby get in line
Every other driven demon that you’ll stand behind
At every ball they throw
The guests you don’t know
Just another easy target for your perfect crime
But at the end of the day
It’s really me who’ll pay
Don’t know what made me think this masquerade’s a different kind
Can I just tear it up?
This is my paper love
I didn’t pay enough
Now it’s going up in flames
This is my paper love
I didn’t pay enough
Now it’s going up in flames
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
A little game I play
Give it all away
Then sit back and watch who disappears and who remains
You fear life might fade
And hope the polish stays
If you drop no matter what to focus on your wage
I wanna see you here
Behind the smoke and mirrors
You make me want you and I know you think you’ve got it made
'Cuz when the bank is out
I find you hanging 'round
Like you’d never be without your darling anyway
But I have had enough
This is my paper love
I didn’t pay enough
Now it’s going up in flames
This is my paper love
I didn’t pay enough
Now it’s going up in flames
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Plastic lungs and paper hearts
Changing out the damaged parts
Before they make it hard to start
Believing that this love’s not over
Plastic lungs and paper hearts
Changing out the damaged parts
Before it shapes just who we are
Believing that
This is my paper love
