Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could be careless and you couldn't care less at all
You're kissing me like a ritual and killing me soft
Head on a mattress, I'm trying to take back control
My brain's an emotional picture, I can't turn it off
[PreChorus]
The pleasure's all mine
I'll go numb next time
[Chorus]
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
Under the surface feels like it just won't heal from all of the paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
I can cover a scar, yeah, I'm keeping it cool
'Cause the thicker the skin, the darker the blue
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
[Verse 2]
Scenes from the weekend, we're dressed for the big tent affair
You fill me with new party favors, high up in the air
I'm Mr. November, you know I should be fearless by now
You take me a little too serious, fighting unfair
[PreChorus]
The pleasure's all mine
I'll go numb next time
[Chorus]
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
Under the surface feels like it just won't heal from all of the paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
I can cover a scar, yeah, I'm keeping it cool
'Cause the thicker the skin, the darker the blue
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
[Bridge]
Ooh, paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
Paper cuts, paper cuts, paper cuts
[Chorus]
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
Under the surface feels like it just won't heal from all of the paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
I can cover a scar, yeah, I'm keeping it cool
'Cause the thicker the skin, the darker the blue
Why does it hurt so much every time we touch? You givin' me paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
[Outro]
Cover me up, cover me up, cover me up, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cover me up, cover me up, cover me up, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cover me up, cover me up, cover me up, yeah, yeah, paper cuts
Ooh, paper cuts
