Paper Heart

David Cook - Paper Heart

I can feel in the evening air

All the words I want to say

But I can tell as you turn to leave

That they wouldn't make you stay

Overhead the lights come on and suddenly I see

That glow is gonna guide you home

Wherever that may be

What use is a paper heart

When you're stuck in the rain stuck in the rain

'Cause all the love that I hold inside

Feel it washin' away washin' away

Let it fall take it all

'Cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything

So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain

I could watch as you fade away

But I hold on to the pain

In these arms that just let you go

On these lips that said your name

Couldn't know it would hurt this hard

To hear you close that door

So punch a hole in my paper heart

'Cause I don't need it anymore

What use is a paper heart

When you're stuck in the rain stuck in the rain

'Cause all the love that I hold inside;

Feel it washin' away washin' away

Let it fall take it all

'Cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything

So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain

'Cause all the love that I hold inside

Feel it washin' away

What use is a paper heart

When you're stuck in the rain

Stuck in the rain

'Cause all the love that I hold inside;

Feel it washin' away washin' away

Let it fall take it all

'Cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything

So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain
