Julia Michaels — Paper Walls

[Verse 1] I, I was the one with the lights on Tryna keep the storm from eclipsing this side But I guess I wasn't strong enough 'Cause now the lights are gone [Verse 2] You, you used to cover me with roses But you never bothered to [?] the thorns And you handed me the storybook With all the pages torn [Pre-Chorus] When you said you loved me, were you playing a part? We go 'round in circles just to end where we start I can't feel whole with only half of your heart Of your heart [Chorus] Happy we survived Living in a house of lies Thought we had it all In these paper walls Thought that you would fight Just to keep our love alive But you just let me fall Through these paper walls [Verse 3] You, you convinced me with your body I got addicted to the way that we'd touch But we were drowning in an ocean That wasn't deep enough [Pre-Chorus] When you said you loved me, were you playing a part? We go 'round in circles just to end where we start I can't feel whole with only half of your heart Of your heart [Chorus] Happy we survived Living in a house of lies Thought we had it all In these paper walls Thought that you would fight Just to keep our love alive But you just let me fall Through these paper walls [Bridge] It only took a mess to make the curtains fall Now I'm walking through the ashes of these paper walls Paper walls, paper walls Oooh It only took a mess to make the curtains fall Now I'm walking through the ashes of these paper walls Paper walls, paper walls Oooh [Chorus] Happy we survived Living in a house of lies Thought we had it all In these paper walls Thought that you would fight Just to keep our love alive But you just let me fall Through these paper walls Thought that you would fight Just to keep our love alive But you just let me fall Through these paper walls
