Look at me in the light, don’t tell me that I’m right

Smile at the marks, and press your palm against skin 

I won’t wince, just as long as I can let you in 

A little imperfection goes quite a long way, darling 

You’ve had your lovers, I’ve had my temptations

We’ve had our demons, and I’ve paid for mine

Forget everything you thought you knew, my dear. 

Strip off my armor, throw it to the floor

Don’t laugh at the burns and the callousness

You’ve had your scars traced, you’ve had a hand to hold 

It was always meant to be mine

I care, I care, I care

Don’t you care too?

Scars, scars are all over

Criss-cross my thighs, tear open my guts 

I’ll bleed all over your innocence

Take me for a ride, I don’t care if you lie 

Sweet little lies, I’ll believe anything you tell me

Be my friend if that’s all you can be 

Don’t you think I deserve so much more?

 My love, my love

Tell me I mean something

I’ll laugh in your face, 

I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care

Because you, my darling dear sweetheart dear heart break my heart--

You don’t care.
