Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[FEMALE]
You say you’re not him
But they all swore the same
I still taste old lies
Every time I hear my name
You’re tracing my scars
Like they’re secret maps
You say “this one’s ours”
I just flinch and pull my hand back
[Chorus]
[FEMALE]
My heart's a house of paper walls
One small spark and it all falls
I wanna let you in so bad it shakes me
But I’m scared you’ll walk away and break me
[MALE]
I know your heart’s got paper walls
Still I’m standing in the hall
If it all goes up
I’ll burn there with you
I’m not here to watch it fall
I’m here to love you
[Verse 2]
[MALE]
You say “people change”
But they changed on you first
Turned promise into poison
Left you carrying their curse
[FEMALE]
You talk like you’re sure
Like you’ve already stayed
But I’ve seen bright eyes fade out
When they see the mess I’ve made
[Pre-Chorus]
[MALE]
So push me away if you need to (hey)
Slam every door in my face
I’ll wait on the front steps
Freezing
Till you’re ready to open the place
[Chorus]
[FEMALE]
My heart's a house of paper walls
One small spark and it all falls
I wanna let you in so bad it shakes me
But I’m scared you’ll walk away and break me
[MALE]
I know your heart’s got paper walls
Still I’m standing in the hall
If it all goes up
I’ll burn there with you
I’m not here to watch it fall
I’m here to love you
[Bridge]
[FEMALE]
What if I trust and it ruins me?
What if you get bored and you choose to leave?
What if I’m too much
Too loud
Too wrong?
[MALE]
What if I stay when the night feels long?
What if you cry and I don’t let go?
What if this time you’re not alone? (not alone)
[Chorus]
[FEMALE & MALE]
Your heart’s a house of paper walls
We’ll hang our pictures down the hall
If it all goes up
I’ll burn there with you
I’m not here to watch it fall
I’m here to love you
[FEMALE]
So I’m handing you these shaking keys
All my ghosts
My broken dreams
[MALE]
I’ll move in slow
I’ll move in true
[FEMALE & MALE]
If it all goes up
I’ll stay and love you
