[Verse 1]
It's not the feelin' 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

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

[Refrain]
Down, down (Fall down)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Your love hurts like a paper cut, so sweet
Never even feel it slice you so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut, the pain grows worse
[Bridge]
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 askin', baby, please stay

[Refrain]
Down
Down, down (Fall down)

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

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, the pain grows worse
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, the pain grows worse
Oh, oh
The pain grows worse
