Lyrics
PAPER HEART
Walkin’ out of art class a boy said hi to me
I could tell he liked me by the way he smiled at me
Then he handed me something that he just made
And that’s my only memory from back in 2nd grade
He gave me a PAPER HEART
With x’s and o’s colored pink and red
Didn’t have a single word
But I know exactly what it said
That somebody liked me enough to make
A PAPER HEART that would never break
Many heartaches later I found that pretty heart
Hidden on the bottom of my old dresser drawer
And I thought about why I’d kept it after all these years
He was the only boy I cared for who never brought me tears
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
I saw him at our class reunion and he smiled that smile again
And before I had a chance he already asked me if I remembered when
REPEAT CHORUS
