Verse 1
This moment is perfect
But i'm lost for words
I know that i seem hollow
We both know you aren't her
Everything about you
Should seem so perfect
So i just regret
Because you're amazing
I just can't let
You waste your time loving me
You aren't the girl i want you to be.

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
For one day you'll be mine
But then i'll fade away
And i want you to be fine
Someday you'll know
This was for the better
And i'll just wonder
Why i let her (go)

Verse 2
I know that this is awful
But i can't wish you pain
I don't want to hurt you
But you say here it goes again
I can't take it all
All i'll put you through
I just can't love you
So let you go
And finally let you
Spread your wings and fly away
You're better off now that you can say

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
One day that you'll be mine
But after that, i can't stay
But i need you to be fine
Someday you'll look back
And not care what we could have had
All you'll remember is i stepped aside
And i hope that you'll be glad

Bridge
Baby it hurts me too
To know i made you cry
But i did it to
Protect you from the lies
You're perfect for me
But we cannot be
Happy together
Because of her
You can't bear
To twist the knife
But its her, who saved my life

Verse 3
I don't have the answer
To what will happen next
All i can do is
Wish you all the best
On paper you are
The best fit for me
But thats all i can see
This love's on paper
And you need to be
free from this raging nightmare
Because i'd never ever be there

Chorus
You're my paper valentine
But the stars just don't align
For me i might have found her
For you, you'll have your time
Tomorrow's better now that i
was able to stop all the lies
And now i have to say good bye
Goodbye

Closer
I hope you understand
The way i am inside
The only thing i can do
Is admit to all my lies
But tomorrow's always another day
And you'll be happy, we'll be okay
