Scar Tissue

Prompt

[Verse 1] I deleted every picture But I know them all by heart Funny how a little silence Can bring everything back I don't ask about you lately I don't drive down your street But some nights I swear I hear you In the spaces next to me [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I still wonder If you ever think of us I can tell myself I'm over it But my heart doesn't listen much [Chorus] You left scar tissue Underneath my skin I don't even miss you But I miss who I was then Now every time somebody loves me I find a reason to let go You didn't break me when you left me You just taught me how to close You left scar tissue And I carry it alone [Verse 2] I can laugh about the ending Like it happened years ago But there's something in your absence That I never learned to hold I have someone asking questions And I change the subject fast 'Cause explaining why I'm distant Means admitting why it lasts [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I still wonder If you ever feel the same Maybe we're both good at pretending That we don't remember names [Chorus] You left scar tissue Underneath my skin I don't even miss you But I miss who I was then Now every time somebody loves me I find a reason to let go You didn't break me when you left me You just taught me how to close You left scar tissue And I carry it alone [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll stop comparing Every new touch to your goodbye Maybe I'll let somebody hold me Without looking for the knife You were a chapter, not the ending I know that now But knowing doesn't mean I'm ready To put the armor down [Final Chorus] You left scar tissue Underneath my skin I don't want to miss you I just want to feel again And every time somebody loves me I don't wanna run anymore You didn't break me when you left me You just showed me what I can't ignore You left scar tissue But it doesn't have to stay I'm still carrying the damage But I'm learning how to change [Outro] You left scar tissue I don't carry you I carry what I learned And I'm finally letting go
