You Left So Many Scars

Verse 1

You wrote your name in salt across my skin

Every letter burned, then faded thin

I used to ache and tremble at the sound

Now it’s just an echo with no ground

Pre-Chorus

I kept the lights on, waiting for a spark

But all your storms just taught me to go dark

You taught my heart to outlast every blow

Till every nerve forgot the way to glow

Chorus

You left so many scars on me, the feeling’s gone

No rush of red, no right or wrong

I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that chapter’s through

I’m just numb to you

You cut so deep the pain fell through the floor

Now I don’t feel a thing anymore

I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that wound is mute

The scars made me numb to you

Verse 2

I tried to strike a match inside the rain

Held on to ashes, called it flame

But every touch returned the same old chill

’Til even silence couldn’t climb the hill

Pre-Chorus

You taught me winter like a second tongue

A quiet house where all the bells are hung

And now your ghost can rattle every room

It only stirs a comfortable gloom

Chorus

You left so many scars on me, the feeling’s gone

No rush of red, no right or wrong

I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that chapter’s through

I’m just numb to you

You cut so deep the pain fell through the floor

Now I don’t feel a thing anymore

I don’t love you, I don’t hate you, that wound is mute

The scars made me numb to you
