Scars

By: Liquid Mercury

Can you see all my scratches
Can you see all my scars
I've got one for each day
Since I lost my heart

I love my best friend
But can't be with him
I'm falling to pieces
I'm losing my grip

Then you came along,
I told you my pain
My whole heart's story, and
How I'm going insane

You listened with care
Never missing a word
I felt at ease telling you
Peaceful and assured

Then you needed me
To listen to you
A story not so pretty
A story few knew

Drugs and death
Love and life
These were the things
You told me of that night

You can lean on me
And I will lean on you
And perhaps together
We can make it through

When you look around the room
Your scars are very clear
But then you look into my eyes
And I see them disappear

You look at me
With all that love
And I know what
You're thinking of

You have scars inside
And I have my pains, too
But looking at each other
We feel peace long overdue

You were all I needed
And I the same for you
You make my scars fade away
Our heart's reborn anew

Without pain, without hurt
Our relationship will last
We know we need each other
To escape our dreadful past

Never leave me
No more tears
Never give in
To your fears

The scars will fade
Like morning stars
And finally healing will shine
Upon our hearts.
