[Verse 1]
Losing control is hard for you
You swung the rope I held on to
Knowing you could let me down
Knowing I couldn’t walk out

You tried to keep me in my place
Saying our time was such a waste
You said I could disappear
You made my mind up for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept thinking I was getting warmer
But we were only ever getting colder
I don’t even feel it anymore
Cos I’m so tired of trying to fix this
Aren’t you so tired?

You said you were only trying to save me
Who said anything about needing saving?
I can’t even hear you anymore
Cos I’m so tired of trying to fix this
Aren’t you so tired?

[Chorus]
You held me down
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight
You put it down
You knew that it could wait
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight

[Verse 2]
It felt impossible to leave
Until it got easy
(Ahhh)
Now that I can hear myself

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept thinking I was getting warmer
But we were only ever getting colder
I don’t even feel it anymore
Cos I’m so tired of trying to fix this
Aren’t you so tired?

You said you were only trying to save me
Who said anything about needing saving?
I can’t even hear you anymore
Cos I’m so tired of trying to fix this
Aren’t you so tired?

[Chorus]
You held me down
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight
You put it down
You knew that it could wait
Just like a paperweight
Just like a paperweight
