papercuts
One more covered up tattoo, new year but same issues
New shoes, knees get scraped tryna reach by the laces
Boy one was better than boy two, just a little more to lose
The short fuse, he blew it and I couldn't face it
And for every jab he took
He left a million-dollar baby not much weaker
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
Child, I'm rubber, and he's glue, new book and I get through it
To chapter two, I hurt my finger by turnin' the pages
It's wild, the things you can't undo, so many black and blues
I outgrew, I'm timing in all the right places
And every jab he took
Left a hundred-thousand cuts he made from paper
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
Paper hearts, paper dolls, I'm paper shot
Paper plate, paper skin, broken hearts make papercuts
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
New shoes, knees get scraped tryna reach by the laces
Boy one was better than boy two, just a little more to lose
The short fuse, he blew it and I couldn't face it
And for every jab he took
He left a million-dollar baby not much weaker
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
Child, I'm rubber, and he's glue, new book and I get through it
To chapter two, I hurt my finger by turnin' the pages
It's wild, the things you can't undo, so many black and blues
I outgrew, I'm timing in all the right places
And every jab he took
Left a hundred-thousand cuts he made from paper
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
Paper hearts, paper dolls, I'm paper shot
Paper plate, paper skin, broken hearts make papercuts
It's not about one open scar
One broken heart, it's not about one
Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
