Song Description

I originally heard this song as a heavier, rock song, much as it was recorded for my latest album, Seesaw. But I had somewhat-recently finished this song, and wanted to include this acoustic version on the album.

Lyrics

(VERSE)
Walking alone, she was
Coming home from the bars
"It's a simple mistake," he said
"I swear I'll never do it again"
He grabbed her arm; he left his mark

And now she's crying again, over him
And over so many things that he did
"It's time for an end," she said
As all these thoughts ran through her head
She wonders why she gave him so much time

(CHORUS)
She's got scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars

Now the months go on by, but he sticks around
He's the next call on the line, or a stranger in town
And he comes back in memories
That she pretends she couldn't see
But the evidence lies in her skin

She's got scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars

(BRIDGE)
Every time I see them, I see him
Every time I see them, I see him
Every time I see them

She's got scars on her face
And scars in her mind
And the healing takes
So much time
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those

Scars on her face
If you don't know, then they're pretty hard to trace
Scars in her mind
That she wishes she could leave behind
But her eyes, they never tell me lies
I see those scars
