Origami

Your heart’s been taped and stapled up so many times
that you march to a different beat.
'Cause every time you’re falling in love,
you change who you are from your head to your feet.
And every time you fall from the wall
you break a little bit more from who you were back then
And all the king’s horses and all of his man
could never put you back together again.
'Cause I know that you’ve got an origami conscience.
Your gonna fold. You’re gonna fold. You’re gonna fold
into the arms of the next one to convince
you that your copper is gold.
And when the time comes the sparkle fades
'cause everything get’s old,
he’s gonna leave you in the cold.
(the cold)
You used to be so cool and calm
because you knew exactly who you were inside.
Now, you define yourself by whoever
is standing right by your side.
And when you’re all alone,
you fall apart and break and bend
and all the king’s horses and all of his men
could never put you back together again.
And I know that you’ve got an origami conscience.
Your gonna fold. You’re gonna fold. You’re gonna fold
into the arms of the next one to convince
you that your copper is gold.
And when the time comes the sparkle fades
'cause everything get’s old,
he’s gonna leave you in the cold.
(the cold)
Without a sweater. So cold without a sweater.
And I know that you’ve got an origami conscience.
Your gonna fold. You’re gonna fold. You’re gonna fold
into the arms of the next one to convince
you that your copper is gold.
And when the time comes the sparkle fades
'cause everything get’s old,
he’s gonna leave you in the cold.
(the cold)
And I know that you’ve got an origami conscience.
Your gonna fold. You’re gonna fold. You’re gonna fold
into the arms of the next one to convince
you that your copper is gold.
And when the time comes the sparkle fades
'cause everything get’s old,
he’s gonna leave you in the cold.
(the cold)
Without a sweater.
