Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 1
Told you twice I keep the receipts
Folded up inside my coat
You swear the rain don't reach you
But I watch it soak your sleeve
Every promise got a price tag
Cheap tape on a broken box
I glued the corners back myself
You never noticed once
Pre-Chorus
So tell me who you're calling home
Tell me who you're calling home
Chorus
We built a cardboard house
Paper walls and paper vows
We built a cardboard house
Watch it fold without a sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
Sister said to let it drain
Mama said to hold my tongue
I did neither
I did both
Late at night I trace the seam
Where you tore the tape in half
Half of me still waits outside
Half of me already packed
Pre-Chorus
So tell me who you're calling home
Tell me who you're calling home
Chorus
We built a cardboard house
Paper walls and paper vows
We built a cardboard house
Watch it fold without a sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 3
Yeah
Rain on the roof it don't bother me
Rippin through the tape like a prodigy
Shawty got a match and a memory
Burnin down the porch where you honored me
Low light
Cold night
Lone ride
Hold tight
I been in the cut with the same scar
Stackin up the rain in a jar
Tell me what a house even means now
Four walls
No you
No us
No how
Yeah
Bridge
If it falls
Let it fall
If it tears
Let it tear
I won't tape it up again
No I won't tape it up again
Chorus
We built a cardboard house
Paper walls and paper vows
We built a cardboard house
Watch it fold without a sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Watch it fold without a sound
SZA
Verse 4
Now the porch light hums alone
Now the mailbox holds no name
I kept one wall for myself
Left the rest out in the rain
