You're always unexpected
And you don't go too deep
Just beneath the surface, but somewhere I always see
Don't want a band-aid
No one else needs to know
How much these feelings slice me up, I can't let go
Cause you're just like a paper cut
You can make me bleed
No, not all that much
Just enough to remind me
Right between my fingers
Amongst the follicles of knuckle hair
Anytime I reach out to grab something I'm reminded you're still there
I use the sanitizer
To scrub myself clean
As the bacteria dies out, baby, you can hear me scream
Cause you're just like a paper cut
You can make me bleed
No, not all that much
Just enough to remind me
That you're just like a paper cut
You can make me bleed
No, not all that much
Just enough to remind me
The stinging's so much worse
Than the blood red flare
I don't know how many more thoughts of you that I can bear
You're not loose leaf paper
No letter in the mail
You're the manila envelope that gets me without fail
Cause you're just like a paper cut
You can make me bleed
No, not all that much
Just enough to remind me
That you're just like a paper cut
You can make me bleed
No, not all that much
Just enough to remind me
