[Verse 1]
You said, “I’m fine”
I read too much
In the tilt of your smile
And the bruise of your touch
I keep a score
Of every pause
Like it means you’re gone
Like it means I lost
[Pre-Chorus]
But you lean in close
Like you know the game
Flip my hard little heart
Then you say my name
[Chorus]
Paper cut halo
You cut, then you glow
Paper cut halo
I should let go
But I like the hurt
When you make it warm
Paper cut halo
Keep me on the edge of your storm
[Verse 2]
You talk in codes
I talk in smoke
We build small disasters
And call it a joke
I point at the crack
You point at the grin
We act all damaged
Then we let love slip in
[Pre-Chorus]
You wear your scars
Like a cheap gold chain
I wear mine louder
Just to hide the change
[Chorus]
Paper cut halo
You cut, then you glow
Paper cut halo
I should let go
But I like the hurt
When you make it warm
Paper cut halo
Keep me on the edge of your storm
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re just
Two bad habits
Trading the truth
For the thrill of “almost”
You laugh like thunder
I fold like paper
Still you find the soft part
Every time
[Chorus]
Paper cut halo
You cut, then you glow
Paper cut halo
I should let go
But I like the hurt
When you make it warm
Paper cut halo
Keep me on the edge of your storm
[Outro]
Keep me on the edge
Keep me on the edge
Paper cut halo
(keep me on the edge)
