Marie Hines - Paper Heart lyrics

rate me

I’m a simple Southern Belle with a sweet tea drawl

Small town, big souled yall

I raise my toast with a glass half full

I’m right with wrong and wrong with right

Ooo, I’m shades of gray in black and white

I’m scared to death of comfortable

I’m the right girl, good girl, smart girl, Daddy’s girl

I try to be the type of girl expected of me

Honesty could get the best of me

When you begin to see

That nothing’s perfect

When you start to read my paper heart

No matter what the cost

I’ll know it’s worth it

Cause I’m an open book (open, open)

I’m a liar in my circumstance

And I’ve learned to twist the truth by hand

I’ve gotten good at getting my way

I’m a certain sunny disposition

Cloudy in my indecision

A flightly pawn, caught in the game

I’m the bad girl, mean girl, wrong girl, that girl

In between who I was and who I will be

Honesty could get the best of me

When you begin to see

That nothing’s perfect

When you start to read my paper heart

No matter what the cost

I’ll know it’s worth it

Complicated and addicted to the flaws I’ve always hidden

Cause they’re easier to blame

Somewhat jaded and afflicted by the good in my intentions

As I look the other way

Finally without the boundaries

If you could only see

My heart it open

Take the last full color photograph

Go on, take all I have

My heart is open

Oh, honesty could get the best of me

But I will happily

Say I’m not perfect

Every part within my paper heart

Became the battlescars

That made it worth it

And I’m an open book (open, open)

<br />
