Scar

Missy Higgins

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 tryin' to squeeze through a circle
he tried to cut me so i'd fit

CHORUS
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
so that i do remember
to never go that far,
could you leave me with the 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 tryin' to squeeze through a circle
she tried to cut me so i'd fit

CHORUS
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 so that i do remember
to never go that far,
could you leave me with the scar?

I think i realised
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
coz 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?

CHORUS
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 so that i do remember
to never go that far,
could you leave me with the scar?

Could you leave me with the scar?

Could you leave me with the scar?
