papercuts

One more covered up tattoo, new year but same issues
 New shoes, knees get scraped tryna reach by the laces
 Boy one was better than boy two, just a little more to lose
 The short fuse, he blew it and I couldn't face it
 And for every jab he took
 He left a million-dollar baby not much weaker
 It's not about one open scar
 One broken heart, it's not about one
 Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
 I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
 How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
 It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
 It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
 Child, I'm rubber, and he's glue, new book and I get through it
 To chapter two, I hurt my finger by turnin' the pages
 It's wild, the things you can't undo, so many black and blues
 I outgrew, I'm timing in all the right places
 And every jab he took
 Left a hundred-thousand cuts he made from paper
 It's not about one open scar
 One broken heart, it's not about one
 Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
 I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
 How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
 It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
 It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
 Paper hearts, paper dolls, I'm paper shot
 Paper plate, paper skin, broken hearts make papercuts
 It's not about one open scar
 One broken heart, it's not about one
 Drop of blood, it's all the little stuff
 I've gargled up while I'm pushed under the rug
 How many times do I build it up to watch it all fall down?
 It's not about one open scar, one crashing car
 It's not about one broken heart but a thousand papercuts
