Missy Higgins - Scar Lyrics
ScarHe 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 skinAnd it felt easy being clean like him,I thought “This one knows better than I do”A triangle try’na squeeze through a circleHe tried to cut me so I’d fitAnd doesn’t that sound familiar?Doesn’t that hit so 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?So that I too remember to never go that farCould you leave me with a scar?So the next one came with a bag of treats,She smelt like sugar and spoke like the sea.She told me “Don’t trust them, trust me”Then she pulled in my stitches one by one,Looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said“This will all have to come undone”A triangle try’na squeeze through a circleShe tried to plug me so I’d fitAnd doesn’t that sound familiar?Doesn’t that hit so 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?So that I too remember to never go that farCould you leave me with a scar?I think I realised, just in timeAlthough my old self was hard to findYou can bathe me in your finest wineBut 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 so 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?So that I too remember to never go that farCould you leave me with a scar?Could you leave me with a scar?Could you leave me with a scar?
