Paper Love
Allie X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wanna believe you believe that too
All the noise in my ear that I hear about you
Pray it can't, pray it don't, pray it won't come true
I know you were thinking
Bad things when you kissed me, oh
Your tongue told me every lie
Last week, swear no matter what
I'll be stretching out the time
Oh, I know that boy's gonna rip me up
'Cause he ain't that nice, he won't do right
He'll leave a nasty cut
Oh, I cry until I just dissolve
Come on watch my heart turn to pulp
Like paper (paper-paper)
Paper Love
(Paper, paper, paper, paper love)
I believe, I believe in a line so thin
There's a light, there's a light and it pulls me in
Going down, going down 'til I chip my chin
Take my head in your hands, pop it with a pin
(With a pin)
I know you were thinking
Bad things when you kissed me, oh
Your tongue told me every lie
Sad song, warm occasion
Last week, swear no matter what
I'll be stretching out the time
Oh, I know that boy's gonna rip me up
'Cause he ain't that nice, he won't do right
He'll leave a nasty cut
Oh, I cry until I just dissolve
Come on watch my heart turn to pulp
Like paper (paper-paper)
Paper Love
(Paper, paper, paper, paper love)
Allie X’s song Paper Love delves into the struggles of holding onto a love that is bound to break one’s heart. The song starts with the artist communicating her faith in her lover’s actions and expressing her desire for the same faith in return. Nevertheless, the insecurities that love can bring seep in as she hears rumors about her partner. Although she prays that these rumors do not come true, she acknowledges that the possibility of a heartbreak looms.
The next verses show that the singer is not blind to her lover’s deceit. She understands that he does not have her best interests at heart and will ultimately hurt her. Yet, she persists in holding onto the illusion of love. When she says, “I cry until I just dissolve. Come on, watch my heart turn to pulp.” She is expressing her emotional vulnerability as her heart dissolves in the face of her tragic reality. The song ends on a melancholic note as Allie X repeats the chorus, driving the point that love can be as flimsy as paper, leaving only memories and pain behind.

I have faith in the delicate balance between light and dark and it draws me towards it
Going down, going down 'til I chip my chin
Descending down this path will lead to me getting hurt
Take my head in your hands, pop it with a pin (with a pin)
You have the power to destruct my mind and my thoughts completely
