You paint the nicest futures of anyone I know
You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow
You build a thousand mansions of dreams that seem so strong
But they're always made of paper and not of stone...
Don't build for me
No paper mansions
That I could 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
Cnd I'm a dreamer too
But I guess I've had too many
Of the kind that don't come true
So don't build me no mansions
With paper walls so thin
That only stand until you leave again
Don't build for me
No paper mansions
That I could never call my own
For love can't live
In paper mansions
That only stand
Until you've gone
That only stand
Until you've gone
