scar tissue

Title: “Scar Tissue” (Intro) Yeah… Why we always gotta turn love into a battlefield? Why we always gotta fight what we tryna build? (Verse 1) Started with a whisper, turned into a scream Now we throwing words like a broken dream You slam the door, I punch the wall Both of us acting ten feet tall But inside I’m small, I’m scared to lose So I raise my voice instead of telling you the truth You say I don’t care, I say you don’t try Truth is we both just terrified Of being left, of being alone So we build our defense like hearts made of stone Every argument cut a little more deep Now we laying wide awake, can’t sleep (Hook) Why we fighting like we enemies? When you’re the only one that gets to me We say things we don’t really mean Now we drowning in apologies Love shouldn’t feel like war every night Tears on the pillow after every fight If we both hurting, tell me what’s the point? Why we breaking what we tryna anoint? (Verse 2) You bring up the past, I bring up your flaws Keeping score like love got laws “You always—” “You never—” that’s how it starts Turning little sparks into burning hearts I see your tears but I’m too proud Rather win than calm it down Then silence fills up the room Thicker than smoke, heavy like doom You on one side, I’m on the other Two strangers that used to be lovers Scrolling through pictures of better days Wondering how we lost our way (Hook) Why we fighting like we enemies? When you’re the only one that gets to me We say things we don’t really mean Now we drowning in apologies Love shouldn’t feel like war every night Shattered trust in the morning light If we both bleeding from the joint Why we aiming for each other’s weak point? (Bridge) Maybe it’s pain we never healed Maybe it’s scars we never revealed Maybe we scared to just be soft So we armor up till everything’s lost I don’t wanna win if it costs your heart I don’t wanna be right if we fall apart (Outro) I’m tired of fighting, tired of tears Tired of feeding each other fears If love is real, let’s lay down pride Stand on the same, not opposite sides ‘Cause I’d rather talk than scream all night Rather hold you than win a fight.
