A picture of a broken heart
In a land of origami
Delivered by the paper boy
To every house of cards
He took out a pen
And painted with a grin
Drawing on every wall
That kept us boxed in
So I took him by the hand and
We ripped the world apart
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh...
Did I come off like I'm too dark?
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh...
When I tore out my paper heart?
I took him to the middle of
A crowd of cardboard cut outs
I crumpled up my paper heart
And let him strike a match
'Cause we were the perfect match
Two pyromaniacs
Underneath the painted sky
Watching smoke rise
Yeah we learned to play with fire
It all burned down so fast
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh... Did I come off like I'm too dark?
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh... When I tore out my paper heart?
Black black black black, charcoal black
We struck the match that made the spark
Black black black black, charcoal black
Then watched the whole world burning over
I just sat and watched it all
Burn down to ashes
I just sat and watched it all
Go dark
I just sat and watch it all
Burn down to nothing
I just sat and watched my whole world come apart
Did I come off like I'm too dark
When I tore out my paper heart?
