I can feel in the evening air
All the words I want to say
But I can tell as you turn to leave
That they wouldn't make you stay

Overhead the lights come on
And suddenly I see
That glow is gonna guide you home
Wherever that may be

What use is a paper heart
When you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside
Feel it washing away, washing away

Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired
Of feeling everything
So damn me and my paper heart
In this pouring rain

I could watch as you fade away
But I hold on to the pain
In these arms that just let you go
On these lips that said your name

Couldn't know it would hurt this hard
To hear you close that door
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
So punch a hole in my paper heart
'Cause I don't need it anymore

What use is a paper heart
When you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside
Feel it washing away, washing away

Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired
Of feeling everything
So damn me and my paper heart
In this pouring rain

'Cause all the love that I hold inside
Feel it washing away

What use is a paper heart
When you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside
Feel it washing away, washing away

Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired
Of feeling everything
So damn me and my paper heart
In this pouring rain
