Scars (James Bay Spotify Session 2015)

[Intro]
I won't bore you with the long story
But I guess this song, you know, it has a pretty speacial meaning
Um, to me
It's just one of those songs
It took me two years to write, which is quite a long time
But I had to go through all this stuff that it's about
To sort of get to the end of it all, work it all in my head
And I managed to finish it, it's called "Scars"

[Verse 1]
You're setting off
It's time to go, the engine's running
My mind is lost
We always knew this day was coming
And now it's more frightening than it's ever going to be

We grow apart
I watch you on the red horizon
Your lion's heart
Will protect you under stormy skies
And I will always be listening for your laughtеr and your tears

[Pre-Chorus]
And as soon as I can hold you once again
I won't let go of you, I swеar

[Chorus]
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind, anymore

[Verse 2]
Your hands are cold
Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
This fragile heart
So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
And in the dark, you try to make a payphone call to me

But you're miles away
You're breaking up, you're on your own
It's hard to take
I need an hour just to say hello
But I can't make the truth of if this work out for you or me

[Pre-Chorus]
And for all the pennies in your pocket
We barely get a second just to speak

[Chorus]
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind, anymore

We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
Cause I can't go without you, anymore

[Bridge]
Oh
Oh, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, no, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah
Oh, oh
We get hurt

[Chorus]
We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
No, we can't leave us behind, anymore

We'll have to hurt for now
But next time, there's no doubt
Cause I can't go without you, anymore

[Outro]
No, I can't go without you, anymore
