[Verse 1]
Daddy's jazz notes hidden in the drawer
Like secrets I can't bear to show
Folding memories into shapes I know
Till the edges cut and won't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Press down hard on dotted lines
These paper cuts, they tell our times
Creasing corners of my mind
Till everything looks redesigned
[Chorus]
I fold, I fold, I fold myself away
Like origami hearts on rainy days
These beautiful wounds won't fade
No matter how I try to make them safe
In my paper cage
[Verse 2]
Caribbean lullabies beneath my skin
Whisper stories of where I've been
Got your love notes pressed between the sheets
But the ink bleeds through, it's bittersweet
[Bridge]
Every crease tells a story I can't speak
Every fold holds a truth I can't keep
Breathing soft against these battle scars
Like whispers trapped in mason jars
[Chorus]
I fold, I fold, I fold myself away
Like origami hearts on rainy days
These beautiful wounds won't fade
No matter how I try to make them safe
In my paper cage
[Outro]
Just a girl with paper wings
Folding up these precious things
Till they're small enough to hide
But they still cut me up inside
