You move with weight, but it’s only surface
Strong on the outside, softer at the seams
They only see the sharp edges
But I can feel the fragile folds within

I'm not afraid of the shadows you cast
I see the truth that the world walks past
Through all the walls you’ve built so high
I’ve found the soul you try to hide

You’re just a paper tiger, and I see through
And I can see the gentle light in your eyes
The world built its story, but my place is with you
I’ll fight for you, you won’t be alone

Paper

Your voice is steady, but it trembles softly
Every word you speak is careful, held inside
I hear the stories pressed between the silence
Layers of a heart the world won’t heal

I'm not afraid of the shadows you cast
I see the truth that the world walks past

You’re just a paper tiger, and I see through
And I can see the gentle light in your eyes
The world built its story, but my place is with you
I’ll fight for you, you won’t be alone

Paper tiger, gentle soul

Tender at heart
Tender at heart
