Paper hearts

Verse 1:

I wore my best face, but it’s breaking inside (mmh…)

You smiled at me, but you’ve got nowhere to hide (ah…)

I gave my love, I gave my time (yeah…)

You kept score like it was all a crime (oh…)

Pre-Chorus:

I don’t cry, I don’t show (I don’t show…)

But tonight the truth’s about to explode (explode…)

Chorus:

Tears on my cheek like they’re Oscar-winning (oooh…)

Laughing at the pain you’ve been spinning (spinning…)

All of your words, they cut like a knife (cut me…)

I’m standing in the ruins of our life (ruins…)

Verse 2:

You said forever, but you meant never (never…)

I stayed strong, but I’m breaking under pressure (pressure…)

Your shadow lingers, it won’t let go (won’t let go…)

I’m screaming in silence, but you’ll never know (ahhh…)

Pre-Chorus:

I don’t cry, I don’t show (don’t show…)

But tonight the truth’s about to explode (explode…)

Chorus:

Tears on my cheek like they’re Oscar-winning (oooh, oooh…)

Laughing at the pain you’ve been spinning (spinning…)

All of your words, they cut like a knife (ahhh…)

I’m standing in the ruins of our life (life…)

I’m burning bridges just to feel alive (feel alive…)

Paper hearts torn up, but I survive (I survive…)

The spotlight’s on, but I’m fading slow (so slow…)

Oscar-winning tears for a love I’ll never show (never show…)

Final Chorus [Build-Up Intense]

Tears on my cheek like they’re Oscar-winning (winning…)

Laughing at the pain you’ve been spinning (spinning…)

All of your words, they cut like a knife (cut, cut…)

I’m standing in the ruins of our life (life…)

I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise… (ohhh…)

Paper hearts, yeah, I’ll survive… (ahhhh…)

Oscar-winning tears, tears, tears… (mmmh…)

Outro:

Lights fade out, I’m finally free (free…)

Oscar-winning tears for the old me (old me…)
