The Small Calamities - Death By A Thousand Cuts lyrics

[The Small Calamities - Death By A Thousand Cuts lyrics]

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and
You're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's
Okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts

I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages but if the story's over


Why am I still writing pages?

'Cause saying goodbye is death
By a thousand cuts flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and
You're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's
Okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts

My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright
It's just a thousand cuts

I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's
Okay when it's not no, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
(You didn't touch)

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love, my trust
(It's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no
No

I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
