Erik Madrid - Papercuts lyrics

[Verse 1: Illy] 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 [Hook: Vera Blue] 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 [Ba**line: Vera Blue] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts [Verse 2: Illy] 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 s**er-punches traded, all fun and games Until the cards, fall where they may Then it's all 'can't even, whatever, anyway' [Hook: Vera Blue] 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 [Post-Hook: Illy & Vera Blue] 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 [Bridge: Vera Blue] 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 [Pre-Hook: Vera Blue] 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 [Hook: Vera Blue] 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 [Post-Hook: Illy & Vera Blue] 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 [Produced by M-Phazes]
