Paper Mansions Lyrics

Paper Mansions lyrics

Don't build for me no paper mansions that only stand until you're gone



You paint the nicest futures of anyone I know



You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow



You've built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seem so strong



But they're always made of paper not of stone



Don't build for me no paper mansions that I can never call my own



For love can't live in paper mansions that only stand until you're gone



[ steel ]



You've always been a dreamer dear and I'm a dreamer too



But I guess I've had too many of the kind that don't come true



So don't build me no mansions with paper walls so thin



That only stand until you're gone again



Don't build for me...
