Missy Higgins - Scar Lyrics

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 trying to 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 trying to 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
'Cause 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
