You know, I used
To know exactly who
This song was for
But the tables flipped
At my expense
And now I'm not so sure anymore

My eyes blur the lines of morality
And I blink back tears of reality

After all that's said
My blood's still red
And the words are cold
But please just know
I'll make it through
I write for you

I'll cut you out a paper heart
Watch you leave it in the dark
Crumple up my heart in shame
And throw away the love I gave

You know I used
To know exactly who
My love was for
But the game's been rigged
It makes no sense
And I can't handle this anymore

My knife shreds the lines of mortality
And this is what's left--a formality

After all's been said
My blood's still red
And my words are cold
But please just know
I made it through
This song's for you

I'll cut you out a paper heart
Let you leave me in the dark
Wash away the jagged pain
But faith's what's running down the drain

I wrote for a boy with honest eyes
I wrote for a boy with words of ice
I wrote for a woman filled with lies
It's all that's left as I bleed in rhyme

Cut them each a paper heart
Watch them each be torn apart
Glue the cuts and tape the cracks
Dust them off and give them back

You know I used
To know exactly who
This song was for...
