Alex Johnson - Origami Lyrics

These nights I just can't sleep
These walls are paper thin
I just can't take the heat
Something's trying to get in

Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me

I ain't obeying no more
The way I'm bound to break
Took me down to my car
That's all that I can take

I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to please you, trying to appease you
And ended up with ten thousand me's

When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami

I've been so many shapes
Since the day that I was born
From ugly duckling to a swan
And now a unicorn

I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to compare, trying to ensnare you
Finally there was no one there

When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
No, no, no

Oh how I miss the exchange
Of electricity
And now it feels so strange
To expose the real me

Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
Just wanna behold myself
Well, I really mean it
I know I sold myself
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
The secret to love
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
