Talking Scars

I let you hold my face
As you beg for me to stay the night with you
I've been trying to play it safe
And it makes you wonder if I really care about you
I'm too worried 'bout privacy
Unsolicited words that take my pride
You can't even put that on me
'Cause your parents don't know I'm in your life
And your friends are all mad at me
I've been taking every second of your time
Promise you won't sabotage your life

Your scars are talking
Oh, why you falling?
I just wanna make you feel safe
Give you shelter anywhere you stay
Don't be so cautious
Or be dishonest
I just wanna see you with my name
What I gotta do to make it fade?
(What I gotta do to make it fade?)

Bet your mama thinks you're brave, yeah
Giving warning signs 'cause she's lived through the worst case
Bet your daddy's quite ashamed
We tiptoe past each other 'cause we feel the same way
Oh, I worry 'bout how you see
Everything in my life and how it goes
Swimming in your anxiety
With the fear that I'ma leave you with my ghost
But I've never made a mess of me
Still, I battle every time you start to choke
Promise you won't sabotage your life

Your scars are talking
Oh, why you falling?
I just wanna make you feel safe
Give you shelter anywhere you stay
Don't be so cautious
Or be dishonest
I just wanna see you with my name
What I gotta do to make it fade?
Your scars are talking
Oh, why you falling?
I just wanna make you feel safe
Give you shelter anywhere you stay
Don't be so cautious
Or be dishonest
I just wanna see you with my name
What I gotta do to make it fade?

They wanna talk
They wanna talk
They wanna talk
They wanna talk
They wanna talk
