Illy - Papercuts ft. Vera Blue
[00:04.56] En garde, my god, how she get at me
[00:05.32] Either we'll never get it right or it's meant to be
[00:07.56] My ego, her pride, some recipe
[00:09.82] We're our biggest fans and our own worst enemies
[00:12.32] Ain't shy, let the whole world know
[00:14.57] Have 'em tuned into the blow by blow
[00:17.07] She move, I move, let her go, I go
[00:19.31] Stir it up, stand back, watch the firework show
[00:22.07] Ayo, too proud to quit when it's broken
[00:24.57] Too in denial to admit when it's over
[00:27.06] Drowning at separate ends of an ocean
[00:29.80] Both in too deep to know where the coast is
[00:32.56] Surrounded by waves in a hurricanes
[00:34.81] Gaze, when we together ain't none of y'all safe
[00:37.05] So buckle or get out of our way
[00:40.07] Up in smoke, down in flames cause man
[00:42.07] When we fight fire with fire
[00:44.31] When we cross the line, ayo
[00:48.82] Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
[00:52.06] Ain't no surprise
[00:54.55] When we play with knives, ayo
[00:58.81] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
[01:19.32] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
[01:22.06] One by one on the hunt
[01:23.82] Nowhere to hide, nowhere left to run
[01:26.32] But I'd rather war with you all of summer
[01:29.30] Than a low key peace with another, ayy
[01:31.81] One by one every cut
[01:34.05] Yeah, it gets deep, but who they to judge
[01:36.57] 'Cause when it's on we roll like the thunder
[01:39.11] Then it's RIP to the others ayy
[01:42.30] Cycle repeat till the lesson get learned, man
[01:44.81] You play with fire, bridges get burnt, man
[01:47.06] The standoff only making this worse
[01:49.55] But don't nobody move and nobody gets hurt, man
[01:52.81] We just caught in our ways
[01:54.56] Sucker-punches traded, all fun and games
[01:57.07] Until the cards, fall where they may
[01:59.57] Then it's all 'can't even, whatever, anyway'
[02:01.81] When we fight fire with fire
[02:04.31] When we cross the line, ayo
[02:08.54] Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
[02:12.55] Ain't no surprise
[02:14.29] When we play with knives, ayo
[02:18.81] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
[02:22.05] I know when you're weakest
[02:24.29] You know where my demons hide
[02:27.05] Put us on a knife edge
[02:29.30] We tear down everything inside, and
[02:31.81] I know when you're weakest
[02:34.05] You know where my demons hide
[02:36.55] Put us on a knife edge
[02:39.31] We'll tear down everything inside
[02:52.30] When will we learn
[02:57.55] We've come too far in this to see
[03:01.04] How much it hurts
[03:02.81] When will we learn
[03:05.80] You and I
[03:07.81] We've come too far in this to know
[03:10.55] When to let go
[03:12.55] Are we our better halves
[03:15.04] If we only make it worse?
[03:17.81] Are we better off apart
[03:20.30] But can't say the words?
[03:22.05] When will we learn
[03:25.55] You and I
[03:27.80] We've come too far in this to see
[03:30.31] All we ever do is bleed
[03:32.04] When we fight fire with fire
[03:34.31] When we cross the line, ayo
[03:39.04] Maybe happy ever after's ain't for us
[03:42.55] Ain't no surprise
[03:44.30] When we play with knives, ayo
[03:49.05] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
[03:51.80] I know when you're weakest (I know when you're weakest)
[03:54.54] You know where my demons hide
[03:57.05] Put us on a knife edge (put us on a knife edge)
[03:59.30] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
[04:02.31] I know when you're weakest (I know when you're weakest)
[04:04.78] You know where my demons hide
[04:07.30] Put us on a knife edge
[04:09.79] Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts
