Lyrics
Verse 1
It hit me like a storm but it was only something small
A tiny little moment that I let become my all
I acted like the sky was falling right above my head
Forgot about the sunshine waiting just outside my bed
Pre Chorus
I get dramatic
I overthink it
Turn a little scratch into a world war inside my mind
But when I breathe in
And look around me
I see a million reasons why my heart is doing fine
Chorus
Paper cut pain
Hurts for a minute then it fades
Why do I give the smallest things the power to ruin my day
Paper cut pain
Life is bigger anyway
I got a whole world waiting for me when I choose to walk away
Verse 2
I spilled a little coffee and I thought the day was done
I let a single comment make me feel like I was none
But then I heard my laughter echo louder than my fear
And realized that happiness had never disappeared
Pre Chorus
I get dramatic
I overthink it
Turn a little scratch into a world war inside my mind
But when I breathe in
And look around me
I see a million reasons why my heart is doing fine
Chorus
Paper cut pain
Hurts for a minute then it fades
Why do I give the smallest things the power to ruin my day
Paper cut pain
Life is bigger anyway
I got a whole world waiting for me when I choose to walk away
Bridge
I am learning to let go
I am learning how to grow
I am learning life is sweeter when I do not lose control
Every moment every breath
Is a gift I tend to forget
But I am choosing joy again and I am not afraid of it
Chorus
Paper cut pain
Hurts for a minute then it fades
Why do I give the smallest things the power to ruin my day
Paper cut pain
Life is bigger anyway
I got a whole world waiting for me when I choose to walk away
Outro
It is only paper cut pain
I am done giving it fame
I have a beautiful life and I am ready to dance again
