I was staring at the ceiling You're so pretty when you're mad All that I can hear is breathing Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah And we're stuck inside the silence In a cold cold war We're too proud to say we're sorry Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-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't we pause it just for one kiss Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah 'Cause I never meant to hurt you And I know you feel the same Still the only one I run to Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-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 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
