Paper Cut Lyrics

When I'm with you I get nauseous

But it's not your fault my body's weak

I like being here I promise

But all the wrong words pour out when I start to speak

I'm decaying from the inside out

And I don't want to drag you down with me

You did nothing wrong that's not what this is about

It's not what we want but it's precisely what we need

I'm exhausted

I can't keep playing pretend

I'll try honesty instead

I know this hurts you

But that wasn't my intent

You won't get it now but someday soon you'll understand

That I'm doing you a favour can't you see?

In the future, you'll look back and thank me

Cuz I'm doing you a favour

But our hearts are made of paper

This will tear us both apart

But it's better than a paper cut

When you said you loved me, I felt guilty

Cuz I knew I would let you down

Losing you just might kill me

But it's for the better so I'll have to learn to

Live without

But I'm exhausted

I can't keep playing pretend

So, I'll try honesty instead

I know this hurts you but that wasn't my intent

You won't get it now but someday soon you'll understand

That I'm doing you a favour can't you see?

In the future, you'll look back and thank me

Cuz I'm doing you a favour

But our hearts are made of paper

This will tear us both apart

But it's better than these paper cuts

You could've dodged a bullet

Why couldn't you trust me?

Now we're locked inside a cage

With the bars slowly rusting

This love is draining both of us

Our tears are turning into dust

To dust, to dust, to dust, to dust, to dust

Cuz I was doing you a favour can't you see?

In the future, you'll look back and thank me

Cuz I'm doing you a favour

But our hearts are made of paper

This would've torn us both apart

But it would've been better than these paper cuts
