lyrics

I wanted to make a paper heart to fill your chest cavity,
And I wanted to make you and I paper crowns to make us royalty.
Because we never had much, but I swear, I wanted to make paper planes so we could fly away.
You're only as beautiful as I say you are.

Trapped inside a maze, running from the monster we made,
I ran and grew tired and you know how much I hated it.

I said this to you in a deep sleep;
You could never make anybody happy,
And you built these walls around you.

And if I dreamed that in the next four years you'd be gone,
I'd wake up and tell myself I'm wrong.
Lie awake, buried underneath the sheets,
I've become misery's company.

I cannot save you like you always wanted to.
I cannot contain you like I always wanted to,
But I don't blame you for leaving so soon.
I only wish you hadn't made your last goodbye at your bedside,
With no one in your life to make you feel alive like I did.
If I had the choice, I'd tell him to take me first.
