Luna Grey - Wrapping Paper Wounds Lyrics

[Intro]
Fold the corners tight, hide what's inside
Another year of pretending everything's fine

[Verse 1]
Scissors gliding through dollar store paper
Trying to make these cheap gifts look greater
Mama taught me how to hide the tears
Behind bows and ribbons through the years
Empty bottles wrapped in shiny things
While the kitchen radio softly sings
Making beauty out of broken dreams
Nothing's ever perfect as it seems

[Chorus]
Wrapping paper wounds, cover up the truth
Folding memories of a broken youth
Pretty little lies tied up with a bow
All the things that nobody should know
(Nobody should know)

[Verse 2]
Watch mama's hands shake while she measures twice
Says "presentation makes everything look nice"
But I see through the glitter and the shine
To all the bullshit we leave behind
Empty fridge but the tree's decorated
All these expectations got me suffocated
Can't afford therapy, so I'm medicating
While these family secrets keep accumulating

[Bridge]
December's got me f*cked up
Playing happy families
While we're all just wrapped up
In our own insanities

[Chorus]
Wrapping paper wounds, cover up the truth
Folding memories of a broken youth
Pretty little lies tied up with a bow
All the things that nobody should know
(Nobody should know)

[Outro]
Just another Christmas trying to survive
Behind these perfect corners where we hide
(Where we hide)
