  • Please just don't play with me
    My paper heart will bleed
    This wait for destiny won't do
    Be with me, please, I beseech you
    Simple things, that make you run away
    Catch you if I can

    Tears fall, down your face
    The taste, is something new (something that)
    I know moving on is
    Easiest when I am around you

    So bottle up old love
    And throw it out to sea
    Watch it away as you cry
    A year has passed
    The seasons go

    Please just don't play with me
    My paper heart will bleed
    This wait for destiny won't do
    Be with me, please, I beseech you
    Simple things, that make you run away
    Catch you if I can

    Waiting, day to day it goes through
    My lips, are sealed for her (my tongue is)
    Tied to, a dream of being with you
    To settle for less, is not what I prefer

    So bottle up old love
    And throw it out to sea
    Watch it away as you cry
    A year has passed
    The seasons go

    Please just don't play with me
    My paper heart will bleed
    This wait for destiny won't do
    Be with me, please, I beseech you
    Simple things, that make you run away
    Catch you if I can

    Summer time, the nights are so long
    The leaves fall down and so do I into the arms of a friend
    Winter nights, my bedside is cold
    For I am gone and spring blossoms you to me
    Summer time, the nights are so long
    The leaves fall down and so do I into the arms of a friend
    Winter nights, my bedside is cold
    For I am gone and spring blossoms you to me Writer/s: Nick Wheeler, Tyson Ritter
