[Verse 1]
I can feel in the evening air, all the words I want to say
But I can tell as you turn to leave that they wouldn't make you stay
Overhead the lights come on and suddenly I see
That glow is gonna guide you home wherever that may be

[Chorus]
What use is a paper heart, when you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin' away, washin' away
Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything
So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain

[Verse 2]
I could watch as you fade away, but I hold on to the pain
In these arms that just let you go; on these lips that said your name
Couldn't know it would hurt this hard to hear you close that door
So punch a hole in my paper heart 'cause I don't need it anymore

[Chorus]
What use is a paper heart, when you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin' away, washin' away
Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything
So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain

[Bridge]
'Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin' away...
[Chorus]
What use is a paper heart, when you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain?
'Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin' away, washin' away
Let it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything
So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain
