  • I was staring at the ceiling
    You're so pretty when you're mad
    All that I can hear is breathing
    Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah
    And we're stuck inside the silence
    In a cold cold war
    We're too proud to say we're sorry
    Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah

    Right now it feels like we're bleeding
    So deep that we might not get back up
    Our words will tear through the surface
    Like a paper, like a papercut
    Right now I 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 papercut

    I find refuge in a distance
    Even when we're breaking down (down, down, down, down)
    Can we pause it just for one kiss?
    Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah
    'Cause I never meant to hurt you
    And I know you feel the same
    Still the only one I run to
    Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah, aah-aah-aah-aah-aah

    Right now it feels like we're bleeding
    So deep that we might not get back up
    Our words will tear through the surface
    Like a paper, like a papercut
    Right now I 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 papercut

    Right now it feels like we're bleeding
    So deep that we might not get back up
    Our words will tear through the surface
    Like a paper, like a papercut
    Right now I 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 papercut

    Just a paper, just a papercut
    Just a paper, just a papercut
    Just a paper, just a papercut
    Just a paper, just a papercut Writer/s: Anton Zaslavski, Austin Paul Flores, Jason Gregory Evigan, Julia Michaels, Lindy Robbins, Samuel Denison Martin
