paper cut promises - maeve noiré lyrics

you folded your words like origami
shaped them into something soft enough to trust
i held them careful, thinking they were gentle
till the edges sliced through my fingers like dust

funny how promises look harmless
when you’re staring through the glow of hope
but once i turned them over in my hands
i learned how sharp they really were
when you let go

and i still feel the sting sometimes
little cuts in places no one sees
your voice still lingers on the corners—
not hurting
but never letting me breathe

paper cut promises, thin but they bleed
small little wounds you left inside me
didn’t look dangerous, didn’t seem deep
but they open whenever i try to sleep

paper cut promises, light as they felt
still managed to scar me in places i’d melt
i should’ve known better, but i didn’t read—
how something so fragile
could still make me bleed
you tore your words from the softest parts
said them gently, like they’d never break
but even the sweetest whispers can hurt
when they’re made from something easy to fake

i tried to believe in the softness
tried to trust the way you gave them to me
but truth has edges, even in the quiet—
and lies stay sharp
no matter how slowly they speak

and i still brush my thumb
over the places you cut through
they’re healed
but somehow they still remember you

paper cut promises, thin but they sting
hidden little hurts in the way you’d speak
didn’t see the danger tucked in the seams
didn’t know they’d split open old things

paper cut promises—light as a breath
but somehow they linger like quiet threats
should’ve let them slip through, but i held too tight—
and now i’m bleeding
from things that felt light
i still keep one or two folded away
not because i want you back—
just because some cuts
stay part of the story
they don’t ache like they used to
they don’t burn like they did
but sometimes when the night gets quiet
i can still feel
what you hid

paper cut promises, thin but they bleed
small little wounds carved slow into me
didn’t look sharp when they slipped from your lips
didn’t see the slice until i felt the hit

paper cut promises—delicate lies
soft to the touch but cold in the rise
yeah, they were fragile, but they cut me clean—
funny how weakness
can still come off mean
