He left a card, a bar of
soap and a scrubbing
brush next to a note
that said "use this
down to your bones"
And before I knew I had
shiny skin and it felt easy
being clean like him
I thought "this one knows
better than I do"
A triangle trying to
squeeze through
a circle
He tried to cut me
so I'd fit
And doesn't that
sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit too
close to home?
Doesn't that
make you shiver,
the way things
could've gone?
And doesn't it feel
peculiar when everyone
wants a little more?
So that I do remember
to never go that far
Could you leave
me with a scar?
So the next one came
with a bag of treats
She smelled like sugar
and spoke like the sea
She told me don't
trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my
stitches one by one
Looked at my insides
clicking her tongue
and said "This will all
have to come undone"
A triangle trying to
squeeze through
a circle
She tried to blunt me
so I'd fit
And doesn't that
sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit
too close to home?
Doesn't that
make you shiver,
the way things
could have gone?
And doesn't it feel
peculiar when everyone
wants a little more?
So that I
do remember to
never go that far
Could you leave
me with a scar?
I think I realized
just in time
Although my old self
was hard to find
You can bathe me
in your finest wine but
I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired
of fearing that I'll be
the bad fruit
nobody buys
Tell me,
did you think we'd
all dream the same?
And doesn't that
sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit too
close to home?
Doesn't that
make you shiver,
the way things
could have gone?
And doesn't it feel
peculiar when everyone
wants a little more?
And so that I
do remember to
never go that far
Could you leave
me with a scar?
Could you leave
me with a scar?
Could you leave
me with a scar?
