Paper Doll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I only wish you the best but I wish I'd never met you
I wish I'd never seen your face
I wished I'd never touched it
I wish I never spoke your name
I wish I'd never loved you
I'm gonna cut you out like a paper doll
Just like you were never here at all
Cut you out like a paper doll
Just like you were never here
All those years and all those tears
They're coming back to me
I'll cry them backwards
Live them in reverse
The tears roll up my cheeks
I'm gonna cut you out like a paper doll
Just like you were never here at all
Cut you out like a paper doll
Just like you were never here
I only wish you the best but I wish I'd never met you
I wish I'd never seen your face
I wished I'd never touched it
I wish I never spoke your name
I wish I'd never loved you
I'm gonna cut you out like a paper doll
Just like you were never here at all
Throw you in the fire and watch you burn
Let the flames and smoke take their turns
On your little paper limbs
You little paper heart
Turn to ashes and grow dark
I only wish you the best
But I wish I'd never met you
