Paper Cuts Lyrics
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 colour
Of the cherry blossom tree
I've always been in love with you
I always used to leave before I went to sleep
But no 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
They're just 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 my scars
I've always been in love with
I mumble when I speak
I'm in the gutter
Lookin at the stars
I've always been in love with you
But if you hold me up to the light
You can see my broken heart
I've always been in love with you
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
I wish i could remain the colour
Of the cherry blossom tree
I've always been in love with you
But no I just pass out watching TV
I've always been in love with you
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
Because if you throw a light
On something magical
It disappears
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 mumble when I speak
I'm in the gutter
Lookin at my scars
I've always been in love with

No comments on this song yet. Best song on the album. I can't ever get it out of my head. Looking for the vinyl single too. Can't find it though. Damn the UK!
Yup, incredible song. The Pitchfork review also calls it the best on the album. I don't know, they're all so good. These lyrics are very wrong but I'm too lazy to fix them.
i thought it was i always used to eat before i went to bed.. haha but nonetheless this is an amazing song..kindof self-explanatory
***eat before i went to sleep
****Lyrics and grammar fixed, please update:

lol. i'm sure it's "read" rather than "eat" or "leave".
Great stuff! Just got the record from a friend. This song really sticks too you. Classic love tune.
one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. my friend burned me a CD with their track on it.
i'm in love.
haha. yeah, it's definitely "read." it doesn't even sound like anything else. and it makes more sense.
