"Paper Houses" Lyrics

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

And our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?

We held our cards, built them high
But way too close to the light
So turn your head, and let us go
I'll learn to breathe on my own

And our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why did we climb and fall so far?

Yeah, our paper houses reach the stars
'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
I don't wanna lose your touch
I don't wanna hurt this much
I can feel you slipping away

Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
Why do we climb and fall so far?

Why do we climb to fall so far?
