Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Memphis heat on my skin like a bruise

Mama said, “Boy, keep your head in the room”

But the walls got ears and the house got hands

And I learned real young how to swallow the pan

He left like smoke through a screen door crack

No goodbye note, just a hole in the back

Now I flinch at love when it says my name

'Cause it sounds too sweet when it comes in vain

[Pre-Chorus]

I been holding my breath so long

I forgot what safe feels like

Every good thing turns too fast

Then it fades when I blink, right?

[Chorus]

Don’t touch my scars

They still remember

Don’t call it love

If it burns forever

I’m still here

I’m still breathing

Hold me close

Then tell me you mean it

Don’t touch my scars

(hold me close)

Don’t touch my scars

(tell me you mean it)

[Verse 2]

She wore red flags like a favorite dress

Pulled me in close, then she used my chest

Said, “You’re too much,” then she fed that lie

Now my own heartbeat sounds like goodbye

I got the fight in me, I got the shame

Same old wound with a different name

Try to build a home with a shaking hand

But the floor caves in when I understand

[Pre-Chorus]

I been holding my breath so long

I forgot what safe feels like

Every good thing turns too fast

Then it fades when I blink, right?

[Chorus]

Don’t touch my scars

They still remember

Don’t call it love

If it burns forever

I’m still here

I’m still breathing

Hold me close

Then tell me you mean it

Don’t touch my scars

(hold me close)

Don’t touch my scars

(tell me you mean it)

[Bridge]

If I go quiet, don’t read it as gone

I’m just wrestling the dark I was raised on

Little boy in the hallway, fists in his side

Still hears that door slam deep inside

But I want more than a life made of pain

More than the ash and the aftertaste

If you stay, stay true

If you leave, leave clean

I can’t keep bleeding for what love means

[Final Chorus]

Don’t touch my scars

They still remember

Don’t call it love

If it burns forever

I’m still here

I’m still breathing

Hold me close

Then tell me you mean it

Don’t touch my scars

(hold me close)

Don’t touch my scars

(tell me you mean it)

Don’t touch my scars

They still remember

Don’t touch my scars

I’m still breathing
