Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Armor down
Took a while, baby, but it's on the ground
Finally next to naked
You can hurt me now
Honestly, maybe it would take me out
[PreChorus]
No point in overplaying hypotheticals in my head
Angel on my shoulder, but devil's advocate
[Chorus]
If there comes a day, the end of us
Deeper than a break
That's the damage done
If me and you were breaking up
I'd be okay
But it'd cut me up
[Verse 2]
You can make a map around my body
'Cause you know it, babe
Pressure points and places that could penetrate
My heart, my soul
So if you've got a knife, then it'd be nice to know
[Chorus]
If there comes a day, the end of us
Deeper than a break
That's the damage done
If me and you were breaking up
I'd be okay
But it'd cut me up
[Chorus]
If you've got a blade
Then sharpen it
If we go goodbye
Just make it quick
If me and you fell out of love
I'd be okay
But it'd cut me up
[Bridge]
Into pieces
You wouldn't even recognize me
Previously, no one else could get this close
Wouldn't be paper or razor
No, it'd be criminal
Oh, baby, you should know
[Chorus]
If there comes a day, the end of us
Deeper than a break
That's the damage done
If me and you were breaking up
I'd be okay
But it'd cut me up
[Chorus]
If you've got a blade
Then sharpen it
If we go goodbye
Just make it quick
If me and you fell out of love
I'd be okay
But it'd cut me up
[Outro]
I don't think you'd do it
But tell me, babe, would you do it?
If it came down to it
Know that it would hurt me
If you make the call
Go ahead and pour the salt in the wound
Mmm, and cut me up
