Paper Cuts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I could be careless And you couldn't care less at all You're kissing me like a ritual And killing me soft Head on a mattress I'm trying to take back control My brain's an emotional picture I can't turn it off [Pre-Chorus] The pleasure's all mine, mine I'll go numb next time [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) Under the surface feels Like it just won't heal From all of the paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) [Post-Chorus] I can cover a scar Yeah I'm keeping it cool 'Cause the thicker the skin The darker the blue [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) [Verse 2] Scenes from the weekend We're dressed for the big tent affair You fill me with new party favors High up in the air I'm Mr November You know I should be fearless by now You take me a little too serious Fighting unfair [Pre-Chorus] The pleasures all mine (mine) I'll go numb next time [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) Under the surface feels Like it just won't heal From all of the paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) [Post-Chorus] I can cover a scar Yeah I'm keeping it cool 'Cause the thicker the skin The darker the blue [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh paper cuts) [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) Under the surface feels Like it just won't heal From all of the paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) [Post-Chorus] I can cover a scar Yeah I'm keeping it cool 'Cause the thicker the skin The darker the blue [Chorus] Why does it hurt so much Every time we touch You givin' me paper cuts (Ooh, paper cuts) [Outro] Cover me up, cover me up Cover me up, yeah yeah yeah Cover me up, cover me up Cover me up, yeah yeah yeah Cover me up, cover me up Cover me up, yeah yeah Ooh paper cuts
