Paper Cut

When I'm with you I get nauseous
But it's not your fault my body's weak
I like being here I promise
But all the wrong words pour out when I start to speak

I'm decaying from the inside out
And I don't want to drag you down with me
You did nothing wrong that's not what this is about
It's not what we want but it's precisely what we need

I'm exhausted
I can't keep playing pretend
I'll try honesty instead
I know this hurts you
But that wasn't my intent
You won't get it now but someday soon you'll understand

That I'm doing you a favour can't you see?
In the future, you'll look back and thank me
Cuz I'm doing you a favour
But our hearts are made of paper
This will tear us both apart
But it's better than a paper cut

When you said you loved me, I felt guilty
Cuz I knew I would let you down
Losing you just might kill me
But it's for the better so I'll have to learn to
Live without

But I'm exhausted
I can't keep playing pretend
So, I'll try honesty instead
I know this hurts you but that wasn't my intent
You won't get it now but someday soon you'll understand

That I'm doing you a favour can't you see?
In the future, you'll look back and thank me
Cuz I'm doing you a favour
But our hearts are made of paper
This will tear us both apart
But it's better than these paper cuts

You could've dodged a bullet
Why couldn't you trust me?
Now we're locked inside a cage
With the bars slowly rusting
This love is draining both of us
Our tears are turning into dust
To dust, to dust, to dust, to dust, to dust

Cuz I was doing you a favour can't you see?
In the future, you'll look back and thank me
Cuz I'm doing you a favour
But our hearts are made of paper
This would've torn us both apart
But it would've been better than these paper cuts
