[Verse 1]
Your bedroom door stayed shut
Your laugh felt like a dare
We shared one borrowed blanket
And the whole room turned aware
Your hand found mine first
Then stayed a little too long
I knew that when you kissed me
I was gone, I was gone
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart was loud
My face went hot
I knew the truth
You knew I got caught
I wanted more
I wanted you
But saying it out
Feels like jumping too soon
[Chorus]
Don’t say a word
Just hold me close
Paper cuts
That’s how it goes
Don’t say a word
We both know why
Paper cuts
I’m scared to say I’m
[Verse 2]
We moved like a secret
Soft against the floor
Every little touch
Left me wanting more
I liked how you looked at me
Like you already knew
Like my whole hidden self
Was coming into view
[Pre-Chorus]
My throat went dry
My hands shook then
I wanted to run
But you pulled me in again
I want your name
On my lips
I want to stay
At the edge of this
[Chorus]
Don’t say a word
Just hold me close
Paper cuts
That’s how it goes
Don’t say a word
We both know why
Paper cuts
I’m scared to say I’m
[Bridge]
If I tell the truth
Will you still stay?
Will my whole world break
If I say your way?
But I’m tired of hiding
Tired of the ache
Tired of calling love
A mistake I make
[Final Chorus]
Don’t say a word
Just hold me close
Paper cuts
That’s how it goes
Don’t say a word
I’m not all right
Paper cuts
But you feel like mine
Don’t say a word
We both know why
Paper cuts
I’m scared to say I’m alive
