The girl with the paper heart Stood upon the hill and thought "If I stand tall from up real high, The wind will take me to the sky!" She waited there for just a breeze To whisper, lift her to the trees And blow it did, a hefty whooooosh! That sent her rolling into a bush But up she stood and to the hill With just a scrape left from the spill She studied the branches softly sway And waited for a breeze her way And fast it came, a strength so grand She swirled up high and crashed to land Bent and twisted, swaying to a stance She thought of taking one more chance She approached the hill and climbed the slope And once a top she laid her hope And closer, near she heard the whistle She let it go her heart without dismissal Then up she flew, and down she swayed, Before she was swallowed by the Bay To the girl with the paper heart, The love you crave was false from start The wind alone can not be trusted To take you to the love you lusted Don't give it all away so fast You'll find that kind of love can't last You'll learn in time, the complex art Of building up a stronger heart One that doesn't scrape or twist Or drown into a deep abyss The heart you want will have a beat, And keep you dancing on your feet So take that paper heart at last And keep it as a lesson passed

The Girl with the Paper Heart
The girl with the paper heart Stood upon the hill and thought "If I stand tall from up real high, The wind will take me to the sky!" She waited there for just a breeze To whisper, lift her to the trees And blow it did, a hefty whooooosh! That sent her rolling into a bush But up she stood and to the hill With just a scrape left from the spill She studied the branches softly sway And waited for a breeze her way And fast it came, a strength so grand She swirled up high and crashed to land Bent and twisted, swaying to a stance She thought of taking one more chance She approached the hill and climbed the slope And once a top she laid her hope And closer, near she heard the whistle She let it go her heart without dismissal Then up she flew, and down she swayed, Before she was swallowed by the Bay To the girl with the paper heart, The love you crave was false from start The wind alone can not be trusted To take you to the love you lusted Don't give it all away so fast You'll find that kind of love can't last You'll learn in time, the complex art Of building up a stronger heart One that doesn't scrape or twist Or drown into a deep abyss The heart you want will have a beat, And keep you dancing on your feet So take that paper heart at last And keep it as a lesson passed
