Scar

Lyrics

He left a card, a bar of soap and
 A scrubbing brush next to a note
 That said "use these down to your bones"
 And before I knew I had shiny skin
 And it felt easy being clean like him
 I thought "this one knows better than I do"
 A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
 He tried to cut me so I'd fit
 And doesn't that sound familiar?
 Doesn't that hit too close to home?
 Doesn't that make you shiver
 The way things could've gone?
 And doesn't it feel peculiar when
 Everyone wants a little more?
 And so that I do remember to never go that far
 Could you leave me with a scar?
 ♪
 So the next one came with a bag of treats
 She smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
 And she told me don't trust them, trust me
 Then she pulled at my stitches one by one
 Looked at my insides clicking
 Her tongue and said
 "This will all have to come undone"
 A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
 She tried to blunt me so I'd fit
 And doesn't that sound familiar?
 Doesn't that hit too close to home?
 Doesn't that make you shiver
 The way things could have gone?
 And doesn't it feel peculiar when
 Everyone wants a little more?
 And so that I do remember to never go that far
 Could you leave me with a scar?
 ♪
 I think I realized just in time
 Although my old self was hard to find
 You can bathe me in your finest wine
 But I'll never give you mine
 'Cos I'm a little bit tired of
 Fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody
 Buys
 Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
 And doesn't that sound familiar?
 Doesn't that hit too close to home?
 Doesn't that make you shiver
 The way things could have gone?
 And doesn't it feel peculiar when
 Everyone wants a little more?
 And so that I do remember to never go that far
 Could you leave me with a scar?
 ♪
 Could you leave me with a scar?
 ♪
 Could you leave me with a scar?
