Julia Michaels - Paper Walls lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
