Illy, Vera Blue - Papercuts lyrics
[Illy, Vera Blue - Papercuts lyrics]
En garde, my god, how she get at me
Either we'll never get it right
Or it's meant to be
My ego, her pride, some recipe
We're our biggest fans and
Our own worst enemies
Ain't shy, let the whole world know
Have 'em tuned into the blow by blow
She move, I move, let her go, I go
Stir it up, stand back
Watch the firework show
Ayo, too proud to quit when it's broken
Too in denial to admit when it's over
Drowning at separate ends of an ocean
Both in too deep to know where the coast is
Surrounded by waves in a hurricanes
Gaze, when we together ain't
None of y'all safe
So buckle or get out of our way
Up in smoke, down in flames 'cause, man
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line, ayo
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives, ayo
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
One by one on the hunt
Nowhere to hide, nowhere left to run
But, I'd rather war with you all of summer
Than a low-key peace with another, ayy
One by one, every cut
Yeah, it gets deep, but who they to judge?
'Cause when it's on, we roll like the thunder
Then it's RIP to the others, ayy
Cycle repeat till the lesson get learned, man
You play with fire, bridges get burnt, man
The standoff only making this worse
But don't nobody move and nobody gets hurt
Man we just caught in our ways
Sucker-punches traded, all fun and games
Until the cards fall where they may
Then it's all, "Can't even, whatever, anyway"
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line, ayo
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives, ayo
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
I know when you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
We tear down everything inside, and
I know when you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
We'll tear down everything inside
When will we learn
We've come too far in this to see
How much it hurts? When will we learn?
You and I we've come too far in this to know
When to let go are we our better halves
If we only make it worse?
Are we better off apart
But can't say the words? When will we learn?
You and I we've come too far in this to see
All we ever do is bleed
When we fight fire with fire
When we cross the line, ayo
Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
Ain't no surprise
When we play with knives, ayo
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
I know when you're weakest
(I know when you're weakest)
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
(Put us on a knife edge)
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
I know when you're weakest
(I know when you're weakest)
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
Ain't no broken pride and
These aren't paper cuts
Either we'll never get it right
Or it's meant to be
My ego, her pride, some recipe
We're our biggest fans and
Our own worst enemies
Ain't shy, let the whole world know
Have 'em tuned into the blow by blow
She move, I move, let her go, I go
Stir it up, stand back
