Paper Forts

This was literally complicating

I could feel my smile fading

Feel my feelings splattered on the floor

I was seriously contemplating

My heart really needed saving

You left it broken when walking out the door

I sat on the bed trying to figure things out

But, they didn't make sense to me

I was buried in my feelings falling further down

I forgot all of my sanity

I did everything that I ever could

But, I didn't think that you could see

You were everything that took my heart & thoughts

Your water broke through, through my paper forts

I thought this was something to live for

More than anything to die for

Believing somewhere that we can make a change

I could never bear the thought of leaving

I still feel like I did that evening

Can you feel me still trying to keep you safe?

I sat on the bed trying to figure things out

But, they didn't make sense to me

I was buried in my feelings falling further down

I forgot all of my sanity

I did everything that I ever could

But, I didn't think that you could see

You were everything that took my heart & thoughts

Your water broke through, through my paper forts

You know it left me covered there, you know you left me smothered here

You know it left me smothered, you know it left me covered

Deep down under, deep down under

I sat on the bed trying to figure things out

But, they didn't make sense to me (sense to me)

I was buried in my feelings falling further down

I forgot all of my sanity

I did everything that I ever could

But, I didn't think that you could see

You were everything that took my heart & thoughts

Your water broke through, through my paper forts

It's still a little complicated

My heart no longer needs saving

I'm picking up my feelings from the floor
