Don't build for me no paper mansions
That only stand until you've gone
You've paint the nastiest futures
Of anyone I know
You always leave me holding on
To pretty words that glow
You've built a thousand mansions
Out of dreams that seemed so strong
But they're always made of paper
Not of stone
Don't build for me no paper mansion
That I can never call my own
For love can't live in paper mansions
That only stand until you've gone
You've always been a dreamer
Dear, and I'm a dreamer too
But I guess I've had too many of the time
That don't come true
So don't build me no mansion
With paper walls so thin
That only stand until you leave again
Don't build for me
