Omar Jaber - Scars Lyrics

These words are my disguise
I use this paper, so I can taper
Off the things that get me high
No lie
I scare myself
And above all else
Have half a mind to make you cry
These demon won't die
So I befriend them and I defend them
Step back and don't offend them
Cause you might get lost
Chewed up and tossed
Oh no, I know

I know who's to blame for the scars on your face
And you asked me to chase you
But I wasn't up for that race
And if I told you I loved you
I told you
Oh, just in case
My heart took a hit
One that I thought you could replace

You looked me in the eyes
You should've seen it
I'm always scheming
That's the way I live my life
It's not alright
But for whatever reason
I'm addicted to pleasing
Anyone who spends the night
No need to fight
Wipe off that scowl
I'm throwing in the towel
The next day I'm on the prowl
I'm not saying I'm proud
But I'll sing it loud
Oh no, I know

I know who's to blame for the scars on your face
And you asked me to chase you
But I wasn't up for that race
And if I told you I loved you
I told you
Oh, just in case
My heart took a hit
One that I thought you could replace
