Scissorhands

[Verse 1]
You said hold still
I said maybe later
My hands stay busy
Cutting through the paper

Sharp in the dark
In the back of my mind
You left me a shape
I keep tracing in time

[Pre-Chorus]
Close the door soft
Don't let it leak out
I'm learning your name
By the way it wears down

[Chorus]
Scissorhands, scissorhands
I keep slipping through
Scissorhands, scissorhands
What you left me to do
Hold me up, then cut me loose
Hold me up, then cut me loose

[Verse 2]
Red on the cuff
From the thread I keep pulling
Every little promise
Came apart while you were looking

I made a small shrine
Out of your old notes
Now the edges are ragged
And the whole thing knows

[Pre-Chorus]
Close the door soft
Don't let it leak out
I'm learning your name
By the way it wears down

[Chorus]
Scissorhands, scissorhands
I keep slipping through
Scissorhands, scissorhands
What you left me to do
Hold me up, then cut me loose
Hold me up, then cut me loose

[Bridge]
If I stay too long
I start to unravel
If I say your name
It turns into gravel
So I step back slow
Let the shape change
Still your touch hangs on
Like a blade in my veins

[Chorus]
Scissorhands, scissorhands
I keep slipping through
Scissorhands, scissorhands
What you left me to do
Hold me up, then cut me loose
Hold me up, then cut me loose
