Running My Finger Along the Scar

The last embers of your kisses
Have long since burned to ash on my lips
And the fragrant softness of your hair
Been forgotten by my fingertips
No second guesses murmur to me in the night
I'm losing your memory, but that's all right

The nights we spent together don't wind like Bougainvillea
Through the branches of my wonderings and wants
Time has worn that crimson splash of heartbreak
Down to the faintest faded stain of afterthought
I'm not trying to exorcise an old desire
Or make a mountain of a misfire
I don't really wonder who you're with or where you are
Just running my finger along the scar

It isn't quite nostalgia, it's not regret
Not bitterness that brings you back to mind
More like the echo of a song I heard
Another singer sing in another lifetime
I don't really wonder who you're with or where you are
Just running my finger along the scar
