Scar Songtext
von Missy Higgins

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 I 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

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 smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And 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

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 that nobody buys
But tell me, did you think we′d all dream the same?


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?
