Missy Higgins - Scar Lyrics

Complimentary "Scar" Ringtone

He left a card, a bar of soap, 
And a scrubbing brush next to a note that said 
“Use these, down to your bones” 
And before I knew, I had shiny skin 
And it felt easy being clean like him, 
I thought “This one knows better than I do” 

A triangle try’na squeeze through a circle 
He tried to cut me so I’d fit 

And doesn’t that sound familiar? 
Doesn’t that hit too close to home? 
Doesn’t that make you shiver? 
The way things could have gone. 
And doesn’t it feel peculiar, 
When everyone wants a little more? 
So that I do remember to never go that far 
Could you leave me with a scar? 

So the next one came with a bag of treats, 
She smelt like sugar and spoke like the sea. 
She told me “Don’t trust them, trust me” 
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, 
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said 
“This will all have to come undone” 

A triangle try’na squeeze through a circle 
She tried to blunt me so I’d fit 

And doesn’t that sound familiar? 
Doesn’t that hit too close to home? 
Doesn’t that make you shiver? 
The way things could have gone. 
And doesn’t it feel peculiar, 
When everyone wants a little more? 
So that I do remember to never go that far 
Could you leave me with a scar? 

I think I realised, just in time 
Although my old self was hard to find 
You can bathe me in your finest wine 
But I’ll never give you mine. 
’Cos I’m a little bit tired of fearing that I’ll be the bad fruit, nobody buys. 
Tell me did you think we’d all dream the same? 

And doesn’t that sound familiar? 
Doesn’t that hit too close to home? 
Doesn’t that make you shiver? 
The way things could have gone. 
And doesn’t it feel peculiar, 
When everyone wants a little more? 
So that I do remember to never go that far 
Could you leave me with a scar? 
Could you leave me with a scar? 
Could you leave me with a scar?
