Paper Cut, Chinese Burn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Paper cuts and a Chinese burn
Is all that she left me
A door that won't shut and a keel won't turn
Is all that she left me

[Chorus]
Well I tried, I tried, yeah I really did try
I can't get her out my mind
Never before have I ever been sure
I'm sure I'm sure this time

[Verse 2]
Spinning room and an aching head
Is all that she left me
An open wound and a string that won't thread
Is all that she left me

[Chorus]
Well I tried, I tried, yeah I really did try
I can't get her out my mind
Never before have I ever been sure
I'm sure I'm sure this time

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
