Papercuts (The Reason For The Lesions)

She says she loves me
But she comes and goes when she pleases
When the door shuts
Its like another papercut
And now Im 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 Im sewed up
Here comes another papercut
Now Im 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 shes so demanding
Do this, do that
Dont 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
Ive grown accustomed to bending my beliefs to
Satisfy her needs
But Im 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,
Shes the reason for the lesions
Man I love her
I start bleeding when shes leaving
And every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of
All the lessons learned
On my missions to try to find her but
Ill sit alone until she comes back home
And Ill 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
Its like another papercut
And now Im 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 Im sewed up
Here comes another papercut
Now Im stuck with a hand full of bandaids
Until she comes back around like them ceiling fan blades.....
[On the Phone]
She dont live here no more
I heard shes staying down the street with the dead beat
That dont treat her right with two bad ass kids
Guilt and Regret
And Im willing to bet
My last album that shes wishing she was kissing me
Man the nerve of this *****
Pardon my French
But its been 10 days
And Im getting kind of light headed
Maybe Ill write her a letter in a gentlemans way
And send it with the hopes that she might get it
I cant believe I let her run all over me
But all I think about is
When shes here and holding me
I love her
Shes the reason for the lesions
Man I love her
I start bleeding when shes leaving
And every scar on my fingertip is a reminder of
All the lessons learned
All my missions trying to find her and
I cant complain
I kind of like the pain
She aint 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
Its like another papercut
And now Im 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 Im sewed up
Here comes another papercut
Now Im 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 im 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)
