Chorus 1

Saying goodbye is

death by a thousan

d 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 i

t's okay when it's

not

It's death by a thousand

cuts

Verse 1

I dress to kill my tim

e, 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 lov

e, one for the age

s

But if the story's over, why a

m I still writing pages?

Chorus 2

'Cause

saying goodbye is

death by a thousan

d cuts

Flashbacks

waking me up

I get drunk, but it's

not enough

'Cause the

morning comes and you're n

ot my baby

I look through the

windows of t

his 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

Verse 2

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 d

rug

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

Quiet my fears with the touch of your

hand

Paper cut stings from our paper-thin

plans

My time, my wine, my spirit, my

trust

Tryna find a part of me you didn't take

up

Gave you too much, but it wasn't

enough

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

Chorus 3

I get drunk, but it's

not enough

'Cause you're no

t 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 i

t's okay when it's n

ot, no it's not

It's death by a thousand

cuts

(you didn't touch)

[Post-Chorus]

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't

touch

My body, my

love, my trust (it's death by a th

ousand cuts)

But it wasn't e

nough, it wasn't enough, no, no

Outro

I take th

e long way home

I ask the

traffic lights if it'll

be alright

They say, "

I don't know"
