Permanent Scars

Those pretty lies
I know them all too well
The quiet violence
I brought upon myself
Gone with the wind but somehow I'm not convinced
About your innocence
I've made mistakes
But you know you've made some too
It's not black white
That's why I feel so blue
Inside and I try to pretend it's not 'bout you
We both know that ain't true and
Oh
God knows that there are days where you don't cross my mind
I hold my own
And then there's the long lonely nights
Where it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I
Just can't let it rest
Silhouettes on the street at night
Like you never left but you did
And I made it this far
Just know you left a permanent scar
I still run faster to keep from drifting slow
Into the places I know I shouldn't go
Nobody is laughing but you would've loved that joke
I just know
And please believe that there are days where you don't cross my mind
I hold my own
And then there's the long lonely nights
Where it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I
Just can't let it rest
Silhouettes on the street at night
Like you never left but you did
And I made it this far
Just know you left a permanent scar
Inside my chest
Now the rest of us is history
Look at all this mess that you left
Unsolved mysteries
Did you try your best?
Cause I did
And I made it this far
Just know you left a permanent scar
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You left a permanent scar
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Now it's just everything you said in my head on repeat and I
Just can't let it rest
Silhouettes on the street at night
Like you never left but you did
And I made it this far
Just know you left a permanent scar
