Lyrics

I’m not a stran ger.

No, I am yours,

with crip pled an ger

and (Bm7)tears that still drip sore.

A frag ile frame aged

with mis er y.

And when our eyes meet,

I know you see.

I (D)do not (Bm7)wan na be a fraid.

I (Em7)do not (Csus2)wan na die in side just to breathe in.

I’m (D)tired

of (Bm7)feel ing so numb.

Re lief ex ists; I find it when

I am cut.

I may seem cra zy

or pain ful ly shy,

and these scars would n’t (G)be so hid den if you would (Bm7)just look me in the eye.

I feel a lone here and cold here.

Oh, I don’t wan na die,

but the on ly an es (G)thet ic that makes me feel (Bm7)an y thing kills in side.

I am cut.

Hey.

(Am)I

am (G)not

a lone,

I am (G)not

a lone.

I’m not a stran ger.

No, I am yours,

with crip pled an ger

and (Bm7)tears that still drip sore.

But I (D)do not (Bm7)wan na be a fraid.

I (Em7)do not (Csus2)wan na die in side just to breathe in.

I’m (D)tired

of (Bm7)feel ing so numb.

Re lief ex ists; I found it when

I was cut.

Cut by Plumb — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Cut” by Plumb in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of E at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
