I don't know why I feel so weightless
So empty that it's getting dangerous
So hollow I might float away
I've been shredded by a cold goodbye and
I've been crumpled up to stop my cry
From pouring out and begging them to stay
Give me a love like a paperweight
If it's not heavy then it's a mistake
It's hard to open up and not break
So press against me
Like a paperweight
Like a paperweight
Don't know if you can understand me
What I'm needing is a stronger hand
To keep me here when I can taste the end
Well, maybe you could use a love like this
A cheating lover left a painful kiss
But we need the hurt before the heart can mend
Give me a love like a paperweight
If it's not heavy then it's a mistake
It's hard to open up and not break
So press against me, oh
Like a paperweight
Like a paperweight
Heavy as a coat that keeps you from the cold
Heavy as a vow, a promise to grow old
Heavy as the ache that grows when we're apart
Heavy as a vow, a promise to the heart
Give me a love like a paperweight
If it's not heavy then it's a mistake
It's hard to open up and not break
So press against me
Like a paperweight
Like a paperweight
Be my paperweight
Be my paperweight
Give me a love like a paperweight
If it's not heavy then it's a mistake
It's hard to open up and not break
So press against me
