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
