Papercut

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
