paper rose - olivia penalva lyrics
[verse 1]
i didn’t seem to notice until i noticed you
all of a sudden i see nothing else that’s in the room
the way you tell a story like i was there with you
listening to people singing, talking ’bout your tattoos
and i know you don’t remember
guess it’s better like that
[chorus]
loving you’s a paper rose
i keep it safe in a tiny drawer
don’t take it out ’cause no one knows
that loving you’s a paper rose
it’s not the real thing but it’s real to me
even if i feel it quietly
i wish that i could let it show
but loving you’s a paper rose
[verse 2]
sometimes i think of burning this feeling to the ground
try to avoid the sting of knowing that you’re not around
i’m not allowed to feel this but i can’t shut it down
i thank the distance ’cause resisting you is harder than it sounds
and sometimes dreams do come true
but this time it’s in my mind
and it feels like
[chorus]
loving you’s a paper rose
i keep it safe in a tiny drawer
don’t take it out ’cause no one knows
that loving you’s a paper rose
it’s not the real thing but it’s real to me
even if i feel it quietly
i wish that i could let it show
but loving you’s a paper rose
[post*chorus]
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
[bridge]
and that’s all it’ll ever be
so i play make believe
i play the part of the damsel who’s in need
you catch the last train, running
’cause love doesn’t wait
yeah, he’s coming to get me
race to the doorstep
and pray that she’s home
you knock on my door
what for?
’cause n0body’s coming
[chorus]
loving you’s a paper rose
i keep it safe in a tiny drawer
don’t take it out ’cause no one knows
that loving you’s a paper rose
it’s not the real thing but it’s real to me
even if i feel it quietly
i wish that i could let it show
but loving you’s a paper rose
[post*chorus]
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
a paper rose
