paper heart

alexz johnson

dust

lust

and paper cuts

gluin' up a wound is rough

pen

page

can't erase

the things you swore you wouldn't say

words turn

pages burn

maybe why i never learn

silhouette without a trace

i'm made of cellophane

you're seeing right through me

left your ink in my veins

when you drew me a paper heart

a pa-pa-paper heart

laying

folded in these sheets

lost in origami dreams

dead poet's poetry

probably wrote the book on me

blinded by his valentines

tears are blurring all the lines

letters burning up in flames

i'm made of cellophane

you're seeing right through me

left your ink in my veins

when you drew me

you can't see the creases

now that they're cut

i'm picking up pieces

since you ripped up my paper heart

why was i drawn to you?

how did i let you through?

i guess you always knew

that with you i'm just cellophane

left your ink in my veins

i'm made of cellophane

you're seeing right through me

left your ink in my veins

when you drew me

i can't see the creases

now that they're cut

i'm picking up pieces

since you ripped up my paper heart

a pa-pa-paper heart

my pa-pa-paper heart
