Scar

Missy Higgins

7

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?
