Don't build for me no paper mansions
That only stand until you've
gone
You've paint the nastiest 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
stands 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 no paper mansion
That I can never call my
own
For love can’t live in paper mansions
That only stands until
you’ve gone
