Paper Mansions Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Don't build for me, no paper mansions 

That only stand, until you've gone 

You paint the nastiest futures of anyone I know 

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow 

You've built a thousand mansions 

Out of dreams that seem so strong 

But they're always made of paper 

Not of stone 

Don't build for me, no paper mansions 

That I can never call my own 

For love can't live in paper mansions 

That only stand, until you've gone 

You've always been a dreamer, dear 

And I'm a dreamer too 

But I guess, I've had too many of the kind 

That don't come true
