Paper Hearts

——————————————————

Lyrics:

We built a fire out of paper hearts
Watched it burn beneath the starlit dark
Ashes danced like ghosts of dreams
Fragile threads unraveling at the seams

The wind whispered truths we couldn’t bear
But love
Oh love
Was always there

We were ships in a storm
No anchor to hold
Carving promises into the cold
The waves came crashing
The stars fell apart
We built a fire out of paper hearts

We painted skies with colors we couldn’t name
But the rain came down
Washed away the frame
A house of glass
A fragile glow
Shattered by the weight of what we’d know

The silence spoke where words had failed
A story told in the tears that trailed

We were ships in a storm
No anchor to hold
Carving promises into the cold
The waves came crashing
The stars fell apart
We built a fire out of paper hearts
