Papercut - Tift Merritt

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 than hear another excuse

You’re just a papercut, I can’t see why it would hurt

I don’t know why it would hurt, but it does

I live in the air, that’s open and bared

I’ve never been scared of a little red

You’re just a papercut, 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 straight, so safe, so safe

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 papercut, I don’t know why it would hurt

I can’t see why it would hurt, but it does
