Scars

They told me time would heal the pain
So I took the spring from every watch
Smashed every hourglass
And threw away the sand

I like the pain, it tastes like
Barbed wire and forest fire
Cutting me with red hot steel
The way you used to do

And I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I won’t let you slip away

I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I will not let you slip away

Oooh

Every time I close my eyes you’re there
Screaming your last breath
If I could then I would sew them shut
Just to be with you again

We danced a spinning dance
Wrath mixed with blind desire
Never thought that it could end
I’m not sure if it did

And I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I won’t let you slip away

I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I will not let you slip away

Oooh

Don’t tell me he’s in a better place
There’s nowhere better than my arms
I will not think positive, I will not cope
I will not carry on

And I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I won’t let you slip away

I don’t want these scars to fade
I don’t want these scars to fade
They are the last of you
And I will not let you slip away

Oooh
