Papercut lyrics

I was staring at the ceiling
You're so pretty when you're mad
All that I can hear is breathing
Aaa, aah, aaa, aah
And we're stuck inside the silence
In a cold cold war
We're too proud to say we're sorry
Aaa, aah, aaa, aah
Right now it feels like we're bleeding
So deep that we might not get back up
Our words will tear through the surface
Like a paper, like a papercut
Right now I don't know why I love you
But by the morning when we wake up
I'll reach for you and remember
It was just a paper, just a papercut
I find refuge in a distance
Even when we're breaking down (down, down, down, down)
Can we pause it just for one kiss?
Aaa, aah, aaa, aah
'Cause I never meant to hurt you
And I know you feel the same
Still the only one I run to
Aaa, aah, aaa, aah, uoh
Right now it feels like we're bleeding
So deep that we might not get back up
Our words will tear through the surface
Like a paper, like a papercut
Right now I don't know why I love you
But by the morning when we wake up
I'll reach for you and remember
It was just a paper, just a papercut
Right now it feels like we're bleeding
So deep that we might not get back up
Our words will tear through the surface
Like a paper, like a papercut
Right now I don't know why I love you
But by the morning when we wake up
I'll reach for you and remember
It was just a paper, just a papercut
Just a paper, just a papercut
Just a paper, just a papercut
Just a paper, just a papercut
Just a paper, just a papercut
