Paper Heart

Lyrics

Those were the days we had high hopes And promises long since broke You were a friend of mine, oh-oh In a more innocent time, oh-oh Poetry ran like blood through our veins We'd talk for hours then start up again We were family, oh-oh You meant so much to me, oh-oh There are many of us With hearts made of stone (Hearts of stone) You were never that strong I wish I'd known You got a paper heart and it's tearing You got a paper heart and it's wearing out Like yesterday's news You'd be gone before long Now I hear the news, secondhand What's become of you? I can't understand And it breaks my heart, oh-oh That we drifted apart, oh-oh You're not real anymore You're papier-m�ch� Whatever you were Has long since blown away Like a paper heart that's been tearing You got a paper heart and it's wearing out And you can't kick You've been down too long You got a paper heart that's been ripped up Nothing left in you that ain't mixed up And I can read it in your eyes That you'll soon be gone You're not real anymore You're papier-m�ch� Whatever you were Has long since blown away Like a paper heart that's been tearing You got a paper heart and it's wearing out And you can't kick You've been down too long You got a paper heart that's been ripped up Nothing left in you that ain't mixed up And I can read it in your eyes That you'll soon be gone You got a paper heart and it's tearing You got a paper heart and it's wearing out Like yesterday's news You'd be gone before long
