Papercuts

She says she loves me

But she comes and goes when she pleases

When the door shuts

It's like another papercut

And now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades

Claims she loves me

But she cuts me into pieces

When I'm sewed up

Here comes another papercut

Now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades.....

We met 22 years back

Fresh out the womb

Now she consumes me,

No room for self these days

And she's so demanding

Do this, do that

Don't forget to take your medicine

I hate it when her face is invading my head again

The welcome mat reads "please take off your shoes"

But she disregards the statement

I've grown accustomed to bending my beliefs to

Satisfy her needs

But I'm fed up

With plugging cuts everytime they bleed

So I dip my pen in the puddle

What a bloody mess its been

Trying to end this struggle

But I love her,

She's the reason for the lesions

Man I love her

I start bleeding when she's leaving

And every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of

All the lessons learned

On my missions to try to find her but

I'll sit alone until she comes back home

And I'll be waiting by the phone

[Phone rings:] "hello?"

She says she loves me

But she comes and goes when she pleases

When the door shuts

It's like another papercut

And now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades

Claims she loves me

But she cuts me into pieces

When I'm sewed up

Here comes another papercut

Now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades.....

[On the phone]

She don't live here no more

I heard she's staying down the street with the dead beat

That don't treat her right with two bad ass kids

Guilt and regret

And I'm willing to bet

My last album that she's wishing she was kissing me

Man the nerve of this bitch

Pardon my french

But it's been 10 days

And I'm getting kind of light headed

Maybe I'll write her a letter in a gentleman's way

And send it with the hopes that she might get it

I can't believe I let her run all over me

But all I think about is

When she's here and holding me

I love her

She's the reason for the lesions

Man I love her

I start bleeding when she's leaving

And every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of

All the lessons learned

All my missions trying to find her and

I can't complain

I kind of like the pain

She ain't even got a name

She just lives in my brain

And says..

She says she loves me

But she comes and goes when she pleases

When the door shuts

It's like another papercut

And now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades

Claims she loves me

But she cuts me into pieces

When I'm sewed up

Here comes another papercut

Now I'm stuck with a hand full of bandaids

Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades.....

She says she loves me but

(She really thinks that I'm an asshlole)

She says she loves me but

(My ears are too big)

She says she loves me but

(I pick my nose too much)

She says she loves me but

(She says I never really listen)

She says she loves me but

(I take too many pills)

She says she loves me but

(I never pay my bills)

She says she loves me but

(I wait until the last minute)

She says she loves me but

(I dont try hard enough)
