Scars Lyrics

I watched the blood travel down the drain

In swirls chased with shots of whiskey

From a hidden cup marked with a stain

I watched it change from crimson gold to darkened rust

I felt my body ache in a lost forsaken trust

If there was a line, I fell looking for it again

Jesus, find a way for me to survive

Keep me in Your arms of love

Turn the tide so I can live

Keep my head above the foam

Somewhere the grass overgrew the garden of my heart

And the love you gave became a familiar pain

You gave me vinegar, and I drank it like wine

The taste was bitter on my lips and poisoned my mind

I painted with colors of ash to hide the bruises on my soul

I gave you a smile so you would never know the real me

Jesus, find a way for me to survive

Keep me in Your arms of love

Turn the tide so I can live

Keep my head above the foam

Somewhere the grass overgrew the garden of my heart

And the love you gave became a familiar pain

You gave me vinegar, and I drank it like wine

The secrets a woman keeps

Hidden from the eyes of judges

Protect what is left of our dignity

Sometimes too weak only to weep

Tear stained pillows

That dry before the break of the day

In a forest of weeping willows

I bow my head and pray

Jesus, find a way for me to survive

Keep me in Your arms of love

Turn the tide so I can live

Keep my head above the foam

Jesus, find a way for me to survive

Keep me in Your arms of love

Turn the tide so I can live

Keep my head above the foam
