Emaj7This is not Ame
Emaj7I was never cut out for Athis scenery
Emaj7I'm just a paper Aboy
You're Emaj7crushed paper Atoy
Emaj7Nothing has Achanged
Emaj7Only paper landscapes Aripped and rearranged

PaperhEeartA  
I live by the sea
Not the one you're thinking
The sea inside of me
It's just a paper dream
To you unseen
But you shake the ground
You rearranged the sunset and terrorise the town
And it's you I blame when I crash paper plane
[Chorus]
If only I knew that your smile
Would set fire to my paper heart
If only I knew from the start
You'd tear right through my paper heart
Paper heart
