If One Scar Is Too Many

Looking through the stained glass windows of your soul

All your imperfections lying bare

I see your lies - your words incarnadined

I know your heart and the dark promise it holds

I’ve been through too much to let you get a hold on me

We’ve done this before, my love, why won’t you let me be

At one time, I’d have bled my heart if only you’d ask me

But now I’m stuck - wondering if one scar is too many

You once spoke of innocence, like a virgin I think you said

You lied - now I lie here naked, my heart is dead

You broke me just for a thrill and now you’ve come to restore the pieces

But I know I don’t need you - in this silence I’ve found my freedom

I’ve been through too much to let you get a hold on me

We’ve done this before, my love, why won’t you let me be

At one time, I’d have bled my heart if only you’d ask me

But now I’m stuck - wondering if one scar is too many

We’ve been there; we’ve been back; we’ve done this; we’ve done that

Yet your lies were the only thing true

You’d laugh when I bleed, complain when I breathe

Cause I’m not suppose to live without you

In my eyes, look at me

Do you think that I weep?

Can’t you see I’ve moved on since your gone?

There’s just you and me; can’t you see there’s no we

I have time for none of your games

Seriously, think singularly

Cause I’ll live with none of your shame

I’ve been through too much to let you get a hold on me

We’ve done this before, my love, why won’t you let me be

At one time, I’d have bled my heart if only you’d ask me

But now I’m stuck - wondering if one scar is too many
