Kiss Me on My Scars
I don't always like
Writing songs about sadness
But if I tell the truth
That is what will come out of it
I'd rather write songs
About love
About smiles
But that really wasn't
The truth of my life
Oh, but now I have someone
Who floods me
With the good times
That overflows
I can't help but start writing
And, oh, all the demons
Will crawl back eventually
I don't seem to mind
When you are
Sitting next to me
Just be who you are
That is by far
The prettiest thing
I think I've ever seen
Held in your arms
Kiss me on my scars
Pull down the bandage
And let me believe
All that is wrong
Will just make us strong
Cracks in the pavement
Are places to grow
Love is a life
Tended like fire
Feeling its warmth
As we move through the world
Let's see where this goes
Art is a mirror
That lets you see clearly
The things in the attic
The depths of the sea
Oh, the heart is a mystery
Seems to resist me
It's hard to be certain
About what I'm feeling
But love isn't like that
It's more like a lightning ball
There or it isn't
You can't really miss it
Making you feel like
You're walking on clouds
But then at the same time
It's keeping you grounded
Because "I love you" are serious words
If you say them too easily
People get hurt
You say them too little
People get sick
Cause you have to feel loved
To feel like you're worth it
Just be who you are
That is by far
The prettiest thing
I think I've ever seen
Held in your arms
Kiss me on my scars
Pull down the bandage
And let me believe
All that is wrong
Will just make us strong
Cracks in the pavement
Are places to grow
Love is a life
Tended like fire
Feeling its warmth
As we move through the world
Let's see where this goes
Writing songs about sadness
But if I tell the truth
That is what will come out of it
I'd rather write songs
About love
About smiles
But that really wasn't
The truth of my life
Oh, but now I have someone

Tended like fire

Let's see where this goes
