Your skin was as white as the fresh fallen snow your eyes where so bright with a promising glow your lips red as roses and your hair black as coal I would have given my life but you�ve taken my soul There was nothing on you a man wouldn�t admire my heart made of paper and you�ve been playing with fire
I think I will never know why you chose me but I know that I'm not the man I used to be you knew you're my queen without realm without crown just one look from you turned my world upside down You didn't want a piece of me, you took the entire my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire
Your heart was so hungry and I was the feed but soon you ate your fill and now I must bleed you loved me forever but just for a while you've broken my heart and my life with a smile I'd never have dreamt of you being a liar my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire
I told you that I couldn't live without you you promised redemption it proved to be true you shortened my suffering with a long knife first she'd taken my love then she'd taken my life where we loved each other my bed was my pyre my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire
Now I'm hunting the land I'm prowling around or so many years I've been searching but found not a trace, I confess it's unfortunately true I should be ashamed but I still do love you There still is this damned so called burning desire my heart made of paper and you've been playing with fire
Now you know my name as my story's exposed now you know why they call me the paper-hearted ghost
