Paper Hearts

Day by day I talk to myself Was it

only me, or

did we change? I don't know if my heart was right or

wrong

Still holding on when nothing

feels the same I can see you're trying to stay But maybe

we're already too late

Maybe we're forcing ourselves to remain Because we need each other today

And

it's okay

to say this is the truth

Not everything we hold is love anymore I

love you,

but love can't stand alone Not when I

give and you don't give the same

I know the value

of the heart I bring I'm not made

to keep waiting in the rain If you can't choose me with

your

whole heart Then I'll be the one who chooses me

I'm not naive,

I know the signs

When there's a secret living between two

hands

I may not have the proof to show

But old wounds know what the heart understands

I watched my mother lose her trust To someone who kept looking

somewhere else So when I opened up my world to you

I feared becoming someone I could not help

I gave you all my truth

from the start

That's why every lie cuts twice as hard

If you're confused about what you really feel I'll give you the

freedom that you say you need

If you can't see what I am in your life I'll give

that worth back to myself tonight

I love you, but now I finally know

Love should breathe with two hearts equally So I'll walk away before

I disappear This isn't running,

it's saving me And if there's someone who can meet me where

I am

I won't be afraid to love again

I deserve to be loved completely

And this time,

I choose myself
