[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1: Troye Sivan]

Now we're staring at the ceiling, you're so pretty when you're mad

All that I can hear is breathing, oh, oh

And we're stuck inside the silence, in a cold, cold war

We're too proud to say we're sorry, oh, oh


[Chorus: Troye Sivan]

Right now it feels like we're bleeding

So deep that we might not get back up

Our words, they tear through the surface

Like a paper, like a paper cut

Right now, 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 paper cut


[Verse 2: Troye Sivan]

I find refuge in the distance, even when we're breaking down

Can we pause it just for one kiss? Oh, oh

Cause I never meant to hurt you, and I know you feel the same

Still the only one I run to, oh, oh


[Chorus: Troye Sivan]

Right now it feels like we're bleeding

So deep that we might not get back up

Our words, they tear through the surface

Like a paper, like a paper cut

Right now, 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 paper cut


[Build]


[Drop]


[Chorus: Troye Sivan]

Right now it feels like we're bleeding

So deep that we might not get back up

Our words, they tear through the surface

Like a paper, like a paper cut

Right now, 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 paper cut


[Outro: Troye Sivan]

Just a paper, just a paper cut

Just a paper, just a paper cut

Just a paper, just a paper cut
