Tift Merritt Papercut lyrics

Under the skin
But no further in
I've seen it before
I was hoping for more

If I could choose
I'd rather bruise
I'd just rather lose
Then hear another excuse

You're just a paper cut
I don't know why it would hurt
I can't see why it would hurt but it does

I live in the air
I'm split in two
That's open and bared
Don't know what to do

I've never been scared
Of a little red


You're just a paper cut
I don't know why it would hurt
I can't see why it would hurt but it does

So I make my escape from all of this plastic tape
Where you play it so safe, so straight, so straight
My heart will open again, reach way down and deep in
It won't take very long, this mark will be gone

You're just a paper cut
I don't know why it would hurt
I can't see why it would hurt but it does

You're just a paper cut
I don't know why it would hurt
I can't see why it would hurt but it does
