I'm okay, I'm okay
Don't keep asking me I might dissenagrate
What you want? I moved on.
Everything is going well at least that's what I tell myself
I wish I was the tinman so I wouldn't have a heart to break

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even cross my mind, no no
And it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
Its only a papercut, papercut yeah

I forget that its there
You keep calling and calling you don't care
How it burns
How it stings
Just 'cause you can't see it bleed
Doesn't mean it don't cut deep

I wish I was the tinman so I wouldn't have a heart to break
I'm okay, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even cross my mind, I'll be fine
No it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
Its only a papercut. papercut

The more I give, the less I get
Sometimes I wish that we never met
'cause I was fine till you broke through
But don't worry baby, I'll get over you
By tomorrow or the next day, or the next day, or the next day

I'm okay, I'll be fine
I only think about you half the time
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm okay, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All those tears were just drops in the ocean baby
You never even cross my mind
No No
Boy you wish it hurt that much
It was only a papercut
Its only a papercut, papercut yeah
Its only a papercut, papercut yeah

I'm okay, I'm okay

    My Interpretation

    I adore this! It's almost as if she's in denial about being heart broke or that she still loves him, but deep down she knows he does.

    She compares the heart break to a paper cut to make it seem like it isn't much pain & that it doesn't mean much. To me it's clearly obvious she knows she's crushed & that it hurts.

    I think she's just helping herself to move on faster:)

    A favourite off the new album! xx
