Paper Mansions

Don't build for me no paper mansions that only stand until you've gone You've paint the nasiest 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 seemed so strong But they're always made of paper not of stone Don'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 gone [ piano ] You'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 true So don't build me no mansion with paper walls so thin That only stand until you leave again Don't build for me...
