Lyrics

He left a card, a bar of soap and a (Am)scrub bing brush next (F)to a note that said, (C)‘use these (G)down to your bones.’

And be fore I knew, I had (G)shi ny skin and it felt ea sy be ing clean like him.

I thought, (C)this one knows (G)bet ter than I (Am)do.

A tri an gle try’n to squeeze through a cir cle.

He tried to cut me so I’d fit.

And does n’t that sound fa mi liar?

Does n’t that hit too close to home?

Does n’t that make you shiv er, the way things could ’ve gone?

And does n’t it feel pe cu liar when ev ’ry one wants a lit tle more?

So that I do re mem ber to nev er go that far, could you leave me with a scar?

So, the next one came with a (G)bag of treats.

She smelled like su gar and spoke like the sea.

And she told me, ‘don’t trust (G)them, trust me.’

And she pulled at my stitch es, (G)one by one, looked at my in sides, (F)click ing her tongue and said, ‘this will all (G)have to come un done.’

A tri an gle try’n to squeeze through a cir cle.

She tried to blunt me so I’d fit.

And does n’t that sound fa mi liar?

Does n’t that hit too close to home?

Does n’t that make you shiv er, the way things could ’ve gone?

And does n’t it feel pe cu liar when ev ’ry one wants a lit tle more?

So that I do re mem ber to nev er go that far, could you leave me with a scar?

So, the next one came with a (G)bag of treats.

scar?

I think I (C)re al ised just in time, al though my (G)old self was hard to find.

You can (Am)bathe me in your fi nest wine, but I’ll nev er give you mine.

’Cause I’m a (C)lit tle bit tired of fear ing that I’ll be the (G)bad fruit no bo dy buys.

(Am)Tell me did you think we’d all dream the same?

And does n’t that sound fa mi liar?

Could you leave me with a scar?

Could you leave me with a scar?
