Mis Cicatrices

What do I do now with the scar?
That reminds me of those gray days
Not everything heals with an apology
I don’t know who I am, what did you do to me?

I’m tired of people asking me
What all my tattoos mean
From a distance, I know it shows that I’m not
Who I used to be

Before I opened the door
And let you in
Before I let my guard down
And let myself go

And now, what do I do with the scars
That remind me of those gray days?
Not everything heals with an apology
I don’t know who I am, what did you do to me?

I’m tired of people asking me
What all my tattoos mean
From a distance, I know it shows that I’m not
Who I used to be

Before I opened the door
And let you in
Before I let my guard down
And let myself go

All the cold is in my feet
It made me remember that last time
When you looked at me and told me
You were going to break my paper soul
And I, so naive, believed it all
But something told me it wasn’t true
In front of you, my fears
You ended up using them against me
My reflection feels a bit distant

I want to be who I was before
Before I opened the door
And let you in
Before I let my guard down
And let myself go

And now, what do I do with the scars
That remind me of those gray days?
Not everything heals with an apology
I don’t know who you are, what did you do to me?

I’m tired of people asking me
What all my tattoos mean
And from a distance, I know it shows that I’m not
Who I used to be
