Paper Rose

[Verse 1]
Glass ball
For your first born
To see your road
So he don't fall, no
White swan
A paper rose
Watch you unfold
Watch you unfold, oh

[Verse 2]
Throwing stars, sharp as your tongue
To cut your rope, and let you go
Count your teeth, watching you speak
Take what you’re owed, take what you’re owed

[Chorus]
Why did you let me go
There was hope in the hallelujahs
There were notes in the begging bowl
There was time but we never used it
And it's too late to be sorry
And it's too late to be bold
And you're there but it's not your body
And I tear like a paper rose

[Verse 2]
White walls
A paper road
I see your ghost
I see your bones, oh
White frame
You keep your shape
I move you slow
I move you slow, oh

[Chorus]
Why did you let me go
There was hope in the hallelujahs
There were notes in the begging bowl
There was time but we never used it
And it's too late to be sorry
And it's too late to be bold
And you're there but it's not your body
And I tear like a paper rose

[Outro]
And I tear like a paper rose
(Why did you let me go?)
(There was hope in the hallelujahs)
And I tear like a paper rose
(Why did you let me go?)
(There was time but we never used it)
And it's too late to be sorry
And it's too late to be bold
And you're there but it's not your body
And I tear like a paper rose
