It started so small, little by little
Describing the pain was like telling a riddle
Each slice stung, but no one could see
No one knew the hurt it caused me

Each time you cut me down
I didn't make a  sound
Little by little you chiseled away
More and more papercuts day by day

Until I looked in the mirror and all I could see
Was the 1000 papercuts that now made me
Although each time it seemed so small
Collectively looking at them all
I don't know why I couldn't see
Each small cut took a toll on me

The day I walked away
I let your memory fade
Just hoping no one would see
The 1000 papercut scars you left me
