Death By a Thousand Cuts lyrics

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier still flickering here

'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"

And what once was ours is no one's now

I see you everywhere, the only thing we share

Is this small town

You said it was a great love, one for the ages

But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it’s not enough

’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier still flickering here

’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

It’s death by a thousand cuts

My heart, my hips, my body, my love

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

Gave up on me like I was a bad drug

Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

Our songs, our films, united, we stand

Our country, guess it was a lawless land

Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?

Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans

My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust

Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up

Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough

But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

No, it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

(You didn't touch...)

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

My body, my love, my trust

(It's death by a thousand cuts...)

But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"
