Papercuts Lyrics by J-Ax

0

[Verse 1]
One more covered up tattoo
New year, the same issues
New shoes, scrapped my knees tryna retie the laces

[Verse 2]
Boy one was better than boy two
Just a little more to lose, a short fuse
He blew it and I couldn't face it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And for every jab he took
He left a million-dollar baby that much weaker

[Chorus]
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff of bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up?
To watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar
One crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts

[Verse 3]
Child, I'm rubber and he's glue
New book, cannot get through to chapter two
I hurt my finger by turnin' them pages

[Verse 4]
It's wild the things you can't undo
So many black and blues I outgrew
I'm timing in all the right places

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And every jab he took
Left a hundred thousand cuts he made from paper

[Chorus]
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff of bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up?
To watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar
One crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts

[Bridge]
Paper hopes
Paper does what paper should
Paper plates, paper skin
Broken hearts make papercuts

[Chorus]
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff of bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up?
To watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar
One crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts
