These nights I just can't sleep

These walls are paper thin

I just can't take the heat

Something's trying to get in

Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me

I ain't obeying no more

The way I'm bound to break

Took me down to my car

That's all that I can take

I've been folding myself, yeah

I really sold myself

With no escape

I've been folding myself

In little shapes

Trying to please you, trying to appease you

And ended up with ten thousand me's

When you made me say I was ice

Say you were the warmth to thaw me

Now I'm too broke to pay that price

The secret to love

The secret to love is not origami

I've been so many shapes

Since the day that I was born

From ugly duckling to a swan

And now a unicorn

I've been folding myself, yeah

I really sold myself

With no escape

I've been folding myself

In little shapes

Trying to compare, trying to ensnare you

Finally there was no one there

When you made me say I was ice

Say you were the warmth to thaw me

Now I'm too broke to pay that price

The secret to love

The secret to love is not origami

No, no, no

Oh how I miss the exchange

Of electricity

And now it feels so strange

To expose the real me

Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah

Just wanna behold myself

Well, I really mean it

I know I sold myself

Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah

The secret to love

The secret to love

The secret to love is not origami
