Illy - Papercuts Lyrics






[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 up or get out of our way
Up in smoke, down in flames cause man

[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

Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts

[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
Sucker-punches traded, all fun and games
Until the cards, fall where they may
Then it's all 'can't even, whatever, anyway'

[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

[Illy & Vera Blue:]
I know where you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
We tear down everything inside, and
I know where you're weakest
You know where my demons hide
Put us on a knife edge
We'll tear down everything inside

[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

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

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

[Illy & Vera Blue:]
I know where 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
I know where 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

    this is my ultimate breakup song. i always come back to this one. My girlfriend of 19 months recently broke up with me as she was hanging with other "better" guys while we dated that could give her more. Sometimes being the nice guy isnt enough. Thankyou illy for always giving me something to come back to.

    En garde, my God, how she gettin' 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
    Haven't tuned in to the blow by blow
    She move, I move, let her go, I go
    Stir it up, stand back, watch a firework show
    Ayo, too proud to quit when it's broken
    Too in denial to admit when it's over
    Drown in the separate ends of an ocean
    Both in too deep to know where the coast is
    Surrounded by waves and the 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
    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
    Ain't no broken pride and these aren't paper cuts

    But I'd rather war with you all of summer
    Than a low key peace with another, ayy

    'Cause when it's on we roar like the thunder
    Then it's RIP to the other days
    Cycle repeat to the lesson get learned, man

    Standoff, only making this worse
    But don't nobody move and nobody gets hurt, man
    We just caught in our ways
    Sucker-punches traded, all fun and games
    I dealt her cards, fall where they lay
    Then it's all 'can't even, whatever, anyway
    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
    I know when you're weakest
    You know where my demons hide
    Put us on a knife edge
    Tell 'em everything inside, yeah
    I know when you're weakest
    You know where my demons hide
    Put us on a knife edge
    Tell 'em everything inside
    When will we learn
    We've come to far in this to see
