[Verse 1]
You left your coat by the door
Still smells like rain and pears
I keep your note in my drawer
Like it might say you're still there
Your mug's got a blue lip stain
On the sink by the dented plate
I talk to the empty chair
Like it knows how to wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to clean you out
But you live in every room
One small look at that
And I start coming back to you
[Chorus]
Paper heart parade
I fold, I fade
Paper heart parade
You lit the flame
Paper heart parade
I can't behave
Paper heart parade
I still hear your name
[Verse 2]
Your keys in a cereal bowl
Your scarf on the broken fan
I swear I meant to let go
But I only let go of plans
I pass your side of the street
When the market starts to close
Same cracked phone in my hand
Same three dots, same hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to clean you out
But you live in every room
One small look at that
And I start coming back to you
[Chorus]
Paper heart parade
I fold, I fade
Paper heart parade
You lit the flame
Paper heart parade
I can't behave
Paper heart parade
I still hear your name
[Bridge]
If you ever turn around
You'll see me in the mess
Not the girl you left behind
Just the one who never left
[Final Chorus]
Paper heart parade
I fold, I fade
Paper heart parade
You lit the flame
Paper heart parade
I can't behave
Paper heart parade
I still hear your name
