2300
Living with a scar of disappointment
and lies is the only ointment
to heal it
Lie to me and tell me everything's gonna be alright
Hold me in your arms tight and tell me you'll be here forever
Say you'll never leave me and we'll always be together
then go about your business and fall into the arms of another
yes, that's how it always goes
They come, they lust, and then they go home
My pride has even left me alone
It tells me I'm too confused and to figure it out on my own
My true feelings are ready to be shown
but I'm afraid you'll stab me in the heart
and shatter all I've ever known
Impale me with a knife of hope
Make me vomit the words from out my throat
Dive into an ocean of regret
& try to stay afloat
While I also try to forget
that what you're telling me is lies
I'm seasick,
rockin' back and fforth trying to believe it
As I close my eyes and wish that I was back on cement
Where my feet can steadily touch the ground and the voices in my head become a distant sound
Where the land of MY lost can finally be found
and I don't have to worry about the next time you come around
Playin' games from one end
As more of these lies fill up my head
I keep rubbin' "I was with my friend" on the scar on my arm
and keep massagin "I love you" on the scar on my heart
It hurts me to see we're slowly growing apart
but the longer we stay ttogether
the deeper the scar
It's already wide open
Blood gush in' while I'm sittin' here hopin'
that you'll secure it with a band-aid or at least tell me you're jokin'
But it's like you've got too much pride
to watch me leave your side
So you keep try a lie
And I keep try a act like everything's alright
But it's not
You're ccaught and I'm done
No more scars, just remember you lost a good one.
