Scar Songtext
von Missy Higgins

He left a card and 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 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 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 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?
So that I do remember to never go that far
Could you leave me with a 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
′Cause 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?
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?
