Paper Daisies

(Verse 1)
You traced my name in folded lines,
Turned promises to little lies.
I held them close like fragile blooms,
Kept hoping they would start to bloom.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I kept holding on too tight,
To things that never came to life.

(Chorus)
So I’m breaking all these paper daisies,
All the dreams you made look easy.
They were pretty till they tore,
Now they don’t mean much anymore.
(Ohohohohohoho)
You were sunshine when it suited you,
Rain on all the days I knew.
I gave you love you couldn’t save —
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)

(Verse 2)
I built a world from quiet hopes,
You tied them up in fragile ropes.
You said forever soft and slow,
But only meant it in the glow.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I kept waiting for a sign,
That you were never really mine.

(Chorus)
So I’m breaking all these paper daisies,
All the dreams you made look easy.
They were pretty till they tore,
Now they don’t mean much anymore.
(Ohohohohohohoho)
You were sunshine when it suited you,
Rain on all the days I knew.
I gave you love you couldn’t save —
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)

(Bridge)
I’ll plant new flowers in the spring,
On soil where you don’t mean a thing.
I’ll let them grow where I was bruised,
And paint my sky in brighter hues.

(Ohohohohohohoho)
Ohohohohohohoohooooooooooooooooooo

(Chorus)
So I’m breaking all these paper daisies,
All the dreams you made look easy.
They were pretty till they tore,
Now they don’t mean much anymore.
(Ohohohohohohoho)
You were sunshine when it suited you,
Rain on all the days I knew.
I gave you love you couldn’t save —
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)
Now I’m letting go
of paper daisies on your grave.
(Ohohohohohoho)

So here’s to breaking paper daisies,
To loving soft and loving bravely.
They were pretty till they tore,
But I don’t need them anymore.
(Ohohohohohoho)
You were sunshine when it suited you,
But I found light that’s honest too.
I gave you love you couldn’t save —
Now watch me walk away
from paper daisies you once made.

Mhmmmmmm
Now watch me walk away
from paper daisies you once made.
