Papercliphearts

Papercliphearts and notebook love
Your cursive words just weren’t enough
Schoolyard aglow in the midst of spring
You knew exactly what you were doin' to me

Pretty boys and kiddy toys
Don’t give me all of the things I need
And those
Words you said, yeah you misled me

Oh you told me to try
Well you’ve lost your mind
Yeah you just play imaginary games
Oh no not this time
I won’t be the one to take the blame

Papercliphearts and notebook love
We were just kids, now it’s time to grow up

Those months I wasted to wait for you
Couldn’t get them back, oh what could I do? Oh
And now it’s time for Something New
Something else that isn’t you

Lovely things and plastic rings
Don’t mean a thing to me
Don’t you see that
You’re the one who caused me to bleed?

You told me goodbye
And I asked you why
But oh how naïve was I to think
That I need a guy
Who still falls asleep to counting sheep

Papercliphearts and notebook love
That high school fling, no it wasn’t enough

You used to think the world of me
The life we knew was so easy
But time caught up and left us in the
Dust, coughing up our lungs
The playground filled with angst and rust
Oh I was lonely
Just nineteen years old, she

Cries
Over some guy
Who broke her heart
She won’t fall apart

Time
Oh it’s on my side
You stood no chance
Just high school romance

Papercliphearts and notebook love
You thought you won? Well, that’s just tough
