Paper Hearts Lyrics
Goodbye love
You flew right by love
[Verse 1]
Remember the way you made me feel
Such young love but something in me knew that it was real
Frozen in my head
[Chorus]
Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part, paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget about it
[Verse 2]
Everything is gray under these skies, wet mascara
Hiding every cloud under a smile, when there's cameras
And I just can't reach out to tell you
That I always wonder what you're up to
[Chorus]
Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget
I live through pictures as if I was right there by your side
But you'll be good without me and if I could just give it some time
I'll be alright
Goodbye love
You flew right by love
[Chorus]
Pictures I'm living through for now
Trying to remember all the good times
Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts
And I'll hold a piece of yours
Don't think I would just forget about it
Hoping that you won't forget

In an interview with Clevver Music, Tori has said:
It is a sad song […] but I think everyone experiences heartbreak or should experience heartbreak in their life cause I think it just makes you a stronger person […] It’s really just an honest song singing about–you know–what happened really and just how you felt. Yeah, this happened, and I’m sad about it, but there’s a line in the song earlier like it’s saying, you’ll be good without me and if I can just give it some time, I’ll be all right.
