Like a scar
I will always be there
as a part of you
for you to wear

I am part of the painful memories
when you dwell with me
I am inside of you
something you hate remembering

It could be the guilt of the pleasure
that paints a picture
you can't bear to see
yet you can't stop looking

Create the past
you hold so close
but do not want to have
to haunt the present

Abandon me
if you think you can
hold back the resentment
there's so much sorrow

For a scar
I make a nice wound
to bleed your happiness dry
I dare you to feel indifferent

Use the pain to feel alive
you can't be free of guilt
when it's inside of you
just like me

Wear me with pride
as you grow colder
with your stare
that becomes more distant

I'll take you away
to the dreams
you took away from me
so you can see how they have changed

Don't forget about me
keep me alive in your head
every time you want to see tomorrow
I'll feed on that hope
