Why I Like My Title

These are the lyrics to Missy Higgin's song Scar... which I tried to ilegally download about fifty times and it never worked and that was like 6 months ago before my computer crashed... I love it so , but anyways I feel like this song quite freqently-

He left a card and a bar of soap
And a scrubbing brush next to a note
That "Use this down to your bones"
So before I knew I had shiny skin
And I 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

Doesn't that seem 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?

So the next one came with a bag of treats
She smelled like summer and spoke like the sea
And told me "don't trust them trust me"
Well she pulled out my stiches one by one
And 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 seem familiar? DOesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't it make you shiver the way things could have gone.
And doens'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?

( and this is my favorite part)
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
Cause 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 it seem familar , and doesn't it hit to close to home ?
DOesn't it make you shiver , the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel pecuiar when everyone wants a little more
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?
