From Niall Horan’s debut album, Flicker, “Paper Houses” is a song that addresses a relationship that thrived on unrealistically high expectations only to eventually fail and break.
It was performed on Niall Horan’s Flicker Sessions Tour 2017, before being released along with the Flicker album.
[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
In this house of broken hearts
We made our love out of stacks of cards
And yes, we tried to hold on tight
'Cause we knew our love was hard to find
[Chorus]
And our paper houses reach the stars
Till we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and owned the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?
[Verse 2]
We held our cards, built them high
But way too close to the light
So turn your head and let us go
I learned to breathe on my own
[Chorus]
And our paper houses reach the stars
Till we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and owned the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?
[Interlude]
Yeah, our paper houses reach the stars
Till we break and scatter worlds apart
[Bridge]
I don't wanna lose your touch
I don't wanna hurt this much
I can feel you slippin' away
[Chorus]
Yeah, I paid the price and owned the scars
Why do we climb and fall so far?
[Outro]
Why do we climb to fall so far?
