Paper Hearts

Paper Hearts
Tear a page from this untold story
Fold the corners to form your glory
Built on false hope & ugly lies
Holding onto nothing but faulty ties
Misery will be sure to follow
In a life that's completely hollow

Paper hearts that masquerade
This is a plea from me to you
Give up this awful charade
Please tell me something true
Be something real & afraid
Born again as someone new

Do you hear your heart beat
Now it's becoming bittersweet
Feeling all of this pain
But free from these chains
Now lay this all to rest
With your hand on your chest

Paper hearts that masquerade
This is a plea from me to you
Give up this awful charade
Please tell me something true
Be something real & afraid
Born again as someone new

Write down this brand new story
Leave it in a book full of glory
Can't wait to read what's next
The end is always the best

The chorus is not as strong as it could be, particularly the second line ("This is a plea from me to you"). The verses are well-constructed especially the first one. I really like the lines: "Misery will be sure to follow/In a life that's completely hollow"
