It’s not the feeling like when you touch a flame
No, it’s not like when someone calls you a bad name
It’s not like the hurt when you slip and fall down
No, it’s not like any of these, what I’ve found is

Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
Never even feel the slice; you’re so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut the pain grows worse

Oh, oh

It’s not so much in the words that you don’t say
It’s not when you act in a distant, cold way
It’s more in your eyes how you look at me
Like you no longer care for what I see

Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
Never even feel the slice; you’re so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut the pain grows worse

You had to go and show me just how good, your love could be
Then you threw it all away
Now I can’t help but feel a brand new pain
So I’m asking baby, please stay

Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
Never even feel the slice; you’re so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut the pain grows worse

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
The pain grows worse
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
The pain grows worse
Oh, oh
The pains grows worse
