[Verso 1]
It's not the feeling like when you touch a flame
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...
[Coro]
Your love hurts, like a paper cut so sweet
Never even feel it slices so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut, the pain grows worse
[Verso 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
[Coro]
Your love hurts, like a paper cut so sweet
Never even feel it slices so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut, the pain grows worse
[Puente]
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 asking, baby, please stay
[Coro]
Your love hurts, like a paper cut so sweet
Never even feel it slices so deep
It seems so harmless, but only at first
Like a paper cut, the pain grows worse
