The Devotchkas – My Scars lyrics

Each day I dig my own grave
in hopes my sanity will be saved
after everyone and everything has let me down
I sink into the sorrow that holds me a slave

In a crowded room screaming, "Just help me, please!"
they turn a deaf ear as I fall to my knees

chorus:
these are years of anger and frustration
where I become a victim of my own vindication
with lack of trust, i lock my brain away from the outside
lying low in my thoughts-that is where I hide
while they forget what they have done throughout these torrid years
I count their numbered days and I will not forget my tears

everyday i bite my tongue
so my wasted words won't hurt no one
after everything I've loved has been taken from me
the lonliness pulls me into oblivion

In a crowded room screaming, "Just help me, please!"
they turn a deaf ear as I fall to my knees

chorus

all I have left are memories of my once-happy past
I try hard to hold onto them but they keep fading fast
and these scars you've given me they will forever last

chorus
