[Verse]
Who made it heaven
Who made your dinner
And polished the silver (ware)
Who saw the warnings
The flames in the distance
And still just didn’t care

[Pre Chorus]
Even us flickering
Is the prettiest thing
I’ll keep my mouth shut
But if anyone asks

[Chorus]
You were the match
In this paper house of mine
You came in as a guest and then
You left nothing behind
Why’d my perfect match
Just leave me high and dry
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
In this paper house of mine

[2nd Verse]
You fit the picture
Then ripped it to pieces
I guess that I wasn’t a-ware, ware, ware
I’m a notch on your bedpost
And I don’t deserve this
Yeah you just didn't care
[2nd Pre Chorus]
Even us flickering
Is the prettiest thing
I’ll keep my mouth shut
But if anyone asks

[2nd Chorus]
You were the match
In this paper house of mine
You came in as a guest and then
You left nothing behind
Why’d my perfect match
Just leave me high and dry
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
In this paper house of mine

[Bridge]
If it all burns down tonight
You’re gonna stay inside

[3rd Pre Chorus]
Even us flickering
Is the prettiest thing
I’ll keep my mouth shut
But if anyone asks, asks, asks
[3rd Chorus]
You were the match
In this paper house of mine
You came in as a guest and then
You left nothing behind
Why’d my perfect match
Just leave me high and dry
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
In this paper house of mine
