Scar

He left a card and a bar of soap with
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 that everyone wants a little more. 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
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,
that everyone wants a little more?
So that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time,
about 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
that everyone wants a little more?
so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
could you leave me with a scar? ah-ah-ah.
could you leave me with a scar
