Scars

Remember how we started out
Young, innocent, naive
You never forget your first love
Isn't that what they say?

Why did you bring me so much hurt?
Gazing back on 99'
I know I wasn't very smart
It was such a gamble
I didn't know you then
But I handed you my heart

Then you went astray
I was crushed and terribly broken
There was just no getting over it
I had to get away

Alienated, isolated from family and friends
A town I loved, an education
But my scars continued to be on constant display

I hope you're jerking off to my picture
And I hope you're really sorry
I wish I could spit on you for the pain you put me through
I remember it everyday
But now I'm better off, a thousand miles away
