[Verse 1] Stuck in the shade of your ego again
Think you got me tamed, but it's still pretend
You think I'm under control, but I have my doubts
Stuck on repeat like a broken cassette
Sitting around smoking your cigarettes
I'm burning on bruised and I'm going out

[Pre-Chorus 1] I'm shrugging it off, all the shit that you do
Because I'm bored to death with you
I'm cutting the chord now darling

[Chorus] It's not me that you think you need
It's not me cause we have torn apart
Let me go cause I need to breath
I won't be screwed in your paper heart

[Verse 2] I won't do what I'm told, you won't say what you mean
You were so hurt and cold and lost me in-between
You love with your hate and your petty games

[Pre-Chorus 2] I'm giving it up. I don't wanna see
Another fake apology
I'm letting it out now darling

[Chorus] It's not me that you think you need
It's not me cause we have torn apart
Let me go cause I need release
I won't be screwed in your paper heart
Paper heart
Paper, paper, (heart) paper
Paper heart

[Pre-Chorus 3] And all of the dirt, and the stormy weather
Says we don't fit together
I'm drawing the line now darling

[Chorus] It's not me that you think you need
It's not me cause we have torn apart
Let me go cause I need to breath
I won't be screwed in your paper heart
(It's not me that you think you need)
Paper heart, paper heart
Let me go cause I need release
I won't be screwed up in you paper heart
