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 found is Your love hurts like a paper cut so sweet Never even feel it slices so deep It seems so harmless but only at first Like a paper cut the pain grows worse 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 it slices 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 it slices so deep It seems so harmless but only at first Like a paper cut the pain grows worse
