Paper Mansions

Don't build for me no paper mansions

That only stand until you've gone

You've paint the nastiest futures

Of anyone I knowYou always leave me holding on

To pretty words that glow

You've built a thousand mansions

Out of dreams that seemed so strongBut they're always made of paper

Not of stoneDon't build for me no paper mansion

That I can never call my own

For love can't live in paper mansions

That only stand until you've goneYou've always been a dreamer

Dear, and I'm a dreamer too

But I guess I've had too many of the time

That don't come trueSo don't build me no mansion

With paper walls so thin

That only stand until you leave again

Don't build for me
