Scar Left on The Heart
This is a heartfelt and emotional song about the pain of unrequited love and the regret of being caught in a relationship that wasn't meant to be. The speaker reflects on their past decisions and acknowledges that they should have known better, but instead got caught up in the moment and hoped that things would work out. The idea of "friends with benefits" is presented as being worse than even being enemies, as it only adds to the confusion and emotional toll. The chorus expresses the speaker's disappointment in themselves for not being able to resist the other person, even though they knew it was a bad idea. The mention of tears being worth enough to buy a diamond ring shows the depth of their pain and sadness. The bridge adds to the sentiment by showing the speaker's regret in playing along with the other person's games and ultimately leading to the end of the relationship. The final chorus reinforces the idea of the scar left on the speaker's heart and the lasting impact of this experience.
Verse 1
I should have known that you
wouldn’t be around
I should have built those goddamn
bounds
cause worse than a broken heart
is a scar left on the heart
like an ugly mark
to remind me
of all the little things
like “having no strings”
or “no feelings”
cause worse than a broken heart
is a shot in the dark
and thinking you’re smart
Pre Chorus
oh I can’t pretend it’s okay
oh I can’t help feeling this way
Chorus
how could I be so stupid to think
that I would be able to resist?
If only tear were money
I’d have enough for a dimond ring
but I’ve got a scar in my heart
I’ve got a scar
scar left on the heart
Verse 2
Imagine if I could see what I see now
I would’ve said NO without a doubt
cause worse than being enemies
or going to a therapist
is being “friends with benefits”
imagine if we could read all the lines
‘fore opening a book and find out we don’t like
then we wouldn’t waste any time
on something that was never right
but there wouldn’t be a surprise
Pre chorus
oh I can’t pretend it’s okay
oh I can’t help feeling this way
Chorus
how could I be so stupid to think that
I would be able to resist?
If only tear were money I’d have enough
for a dimond ring
but I’ve got a scar in my heart
I’ve got a scar
scar left on the heart
Bridge
but if the only way
of having you some day
was playing your games
now I see
that I’m the one to blame
cause you left anyway
now all I’ve got is a scar
Chorus
that I would be able to resist
If only tear were money I’d have enough
for a dimond ring
but I’ve got a scar in my heart
I’ve got a scar
scar left on the heart
