Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sandpaper kisses, papercut bliss
Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this
You're gonna leave her
You have deceived her
Oh, just a girl
[Verse 2]
Oh, just a girl with featherweight curls
To expose all she knows, you play like tease
Just a girl with featherweight curls
To expose all she knows, you play like tease
You're gonna leave her
You have deceived her
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I want the soul of something simple
I want the soul of something simple
To take home with me
The world as someplace simple
I want the world as someplace simple
It's my home you see
It's my home
It's my home
[Verse 4]
You're gonna leave her
You have deceived
Ooh, just a girl
A blood red pearl
