Scars

[Verse 1]
I kept your last text
In my cracked-up phone
Thumb on the screen
Like a prayer with no home
You said move on
Like it was that easy
But your name still burns
When the room gets empty
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t hide what showed
Under my skin
You left the shape
Of where you’ve been
I tried new faces
Tried to be smart
But every road
Takes me back to your heart
[Chorus]
Can’t cover up these scars
(Scars)
Love who you want
But you’re stuck in my heart
(Heart)
Pass me by
Like we’re nothing but cars
(Cars)
I love you
But you leave me scarred
(Scarred)
[Verse 2]
Your coat on my chair
Still smells like rain
I fold it up
Then I unfold the pain
You laugh in my head
When the night goes thin
I hate that I
Still let you in
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t hide what showed
Under my skin
You left the shape
Of where you’ve been
I tried to outrun
What I can’t deny
But every wrong turn
Brings you back to my mind
[Chorus]
Can’t cover up these scars
(Scars)
Love who you want
But you’re stuck in my heart
(Heart)
Pass me by
Like we’re nothing but cars
(Cars)
I love you
But you leave me scarred
(Scarred)
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Say it straight
Are we done for good?
I still taste
What I wish I could
If you want out
Then let me fall
But don’t act like
You never had it all
[Chorus]
Can’t cover up these scars
(Scars)
Love who you want
But you’re stuck in my heart
(Heart)
Pass me by
Like we’re nothing but cars
(Cars)
I love you
But you leave me scarred
(Scarred)
