Piece Of Paper

Verse:
Thrown away and ripped to shreds
Every single lie you said
Took away any and all air
You figured you could find another
So you took out a mask and went undercover
You left my soul raw and bare

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, you dropped me from the highest floor
And now I'm broken, bruised and trapped in a storm

Chorus:
A heart is a little like a piece of paper
It can tear so easily
But you can't just tape it back together
The scars lie so deep
You thought my heart was something you could change
Color any way you want
I guess white was your favorite color all those days
You played me for so long
Why did you think my heart could be mended later?
Oh a heart ain't a piece of paper

Verse:
Was it ever really love?
Were there ever the two of us?
Now I'm beginning to wonder
Did the lying game start when I caught your eye?
I knew you were playing when you said goodbye
The only rule was to bring along thunder

Pre-Chorus:
Don't know if time will heal these scars
All I can do now is wish on a star

Chorus:
A heart is a little like a piece of paper
It can tear so easily
But you can't just tape it back together
The scars lie so deep
You thought my heart was something you could change
Color any way you want
I guess black was your favorite color all those days
You played me for so long
Why did you think my heart could be mended later?
Oh boy it a heart ain't a piece of paper

Bridge:
I guess you woke up and put on a smile so I would believe
That no matter the time, no matter the place, you would always think of me
The way you held me in your arms when I couldn't stop crying made me believe
That no matter the time, no matter the place, you would always be there for me

Chorus:
A heart is a little like a piece of paper
It can tear so easily
But you can't just tape it back together
The scars lie so deep
You thought my heart was something you could change
Color any way you want
I guess grey was your favorite color all those days
You played me for so long
Why did you think my heart could be mended later?
Oh boy it a heart ain't a piece of paper

Outro:
Oh, my heart ain't a piece of paper
Oh no my heart ain't a piece of paper
