Paper Cuts

I bruise like a peach

I mumble when I speak

I'm in the gutter lookin' at the stars

I've always been in love with you

I look tough enough

But if you hold me up to the light

You can see my broken heart

I've always been in love with you

They're just paper cuts, I'll sellotape them up

And bandage them with cotton wool and glue

Paper cuts, I shouldn't beat myself up

Over little things the way I do

Nothing stays the same

I wish, I could remain the color

Of the cherry blossom tree

I've always been in love with you

I always used to leave

Before I went to sleep

But now I just pass out watching TV

I've always been in love with you

They're just paper cuts, I'll sellotape them up

And bandage them with cotton wool and glue

Paper cuts, I shouldn't beat myself up

Over little things the way I do

Just be careful when you shine

Because if you throw a light

On something magical

It disappears

Paper cuts, I'll sellotape them up

And bandage them with cotton wool and glue

They're just paper cuts, I shouldn't beat myself up

Over little things the way I do

I bruise like a peach

I mumble when I speak

I'm in the gutter lookin' at the stars

I've always been in love with
