|
Your skin was as white as the fresh fallen snow |
|
your eyes where so bright with a promising glow |
|
your lips red as roses and your hair black as coal |
|
I would have given my life but you've taken my soul |
|
There was nothing on you a man wouldn't admire |
|
my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire |
|
I think I will never know why you chose me |
|
but I know that I'm not the man I used to be |
|
you knew you're my queen without realm without crown |
|
just one look from you turned my world upside down |
|
You didn't want a piece of me, you took the entire |
|
my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire |
|
Your heart was so hungry and I was the feed |
|
but soon you ate your fill and now I must bleed |
|
you loved me forever but just for a while |
|
you've broken my heart and my life with a smile |
|
I'd never have dreamt of you being a liar |
|
my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire |
|
I told you that I couldn't live without you |
|
you promised redemption it proved to be true |
|
you shortened my suffering with a long knife |
|
first she'd taken my love then she'd taken my life |
|
where we loved each other my bed was my pyre |
|
my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire |
|
Now I'm hunting the land I'm prowling around |
|
or so many years I've been searching but found |
|
not a trace, I confess it's unfortunately true |
|
I should be ashamed but I still do love you |
|
There still is this damned so called burning desire |
|
my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire |
|
Now you know my name as my story's exposed |
|
now you know why they call me the paper-hearted ghost |
