• A million voices, all too loud
    A million faces in that crowd
    A million hopes, a million tears
    A million dreams, a million fears

    A million mirrors, all the same
    A million people, playing this game
    So many people, telling me no
    So many people I don't even know

    Everyone sees me, but I'm not really there
    From the glint in my eyes
    To the smell of my hair

    I'm just a paper girl
    In a paper town
    The slightest wind, knocks me to the ground
    I can't get up, I can't play this game
    People don't see me
    They see my name

    I'm going to leave this place and never look back
    Cover my mirror, so you don't see the cracks
    Cut all my strings and let myself go,
    Away from these people all telling me no

    I saw his body lying dead in the park
    And that little light inside me slowly went dark
    Your hand as I held it, was warm in mine
    Looking back I now see, we had so little time

    I walked a road of make-believe
    The hair of graves beneath my feet
    I sang a song of myself
    And and wandered aimlessly
    The aspect of my future, was much too frightening

    I'm just a paper girl
    In a paper town
    The slightest wind knocks me to the ground
    I can't get up, I can't play this game
    People don't see me,
    They see my name

    A million voices, all too loud
    A million faces in the crows
    A million hopes, a million tears
    A million dreams, a million fears

    A million mirrors all the same
    A million people playing this game
    A million people telling me no
    A million people I don't even know

    I chose you, and brought you out
    I made you so happy, I made you shout
    I showed all the people who told me no,
    What would happen when they hurt Margo

    They slept with the fishes on that one night
    And for once in their lives, things weren't quite right
    They didn't see it coming
    They thought they'd escape
    They didn't know you couldn't hide, from Margo the Great

    They took me
    And played me
    And spit me back out
    When they betrayed me, I showed them what I'm about

    I shattered the mirrors
    And blotted their teirs
    I ripped out their pages
    And cradled their fears

    I beat you
    Then left you and didn't look back
    But as I was leaving, I heard your heart crack
    I knew if you found me, you wouldn't let me go,
    But I couldn't be one of those people who tell people no

    I couldn't stay blind
    And I couldn't stay deaf
    So when I went, I left you a thread
    I never even thought that you'd think I was dead

    I wanted you to take what was mine
    I never thought that it was me you'd find
    I felt like a bird that couldn't land,
    Like a fish out of water, when you took my hand

    I kissed you,
    You begged me,
    But I couldn't go back
    So instead I just told you to pick up my slack

    We sat in the grass, the graves all around us
    The mirrors we held, had finally found us

    We're just paper people, in a paper world
    Just a paper boy, and a paper girl
    Our towns our flimsy
    Our mirrors are cracked
    We all need to leave, and never go back

    The wind tumbles around us
    And knocks to the ground
    The millions of paper cut-outs, of the people we've found
