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

Chandelier's still flickering here
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

They say, "I don't know"

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

Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

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