​papercut Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Perhaps you've not known before
To need someone and not be needed anymore
I know nobody's to blame
My tongue still papercuts speaking your name

[Verse 2]
Perhaps you don't understand
When I want you to care, but now my world's in your hands
What am I supposed to do
Pretend I'm happy for you?


[Bridge]
Waited all day to cry
Now I'm here, my eyes are dry
Couldn't help you in the end
Don't know why I was looking to mend

[Verse 3]
Perhaps you've not sung a song
Of seeing yourself to every way come up wrong
The world can't hurt me no more
When I'm the very best at making myself sore


[Outro]
(Da-dum da-dum da-dum dum)
(Da-dum da-dum da-dum dum)
(Da-dum da-dum da-dum dum)
(Da-dum da-dum da-dum dum)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
