Maybe a Scar

Drawing similarities in healing bumps and breaks

It's funny how life turns out to be one big cliche

Analogies ring true more often than not

Like ripping off the bandaid

And how I was too scared of the pain to let you go

Then while I had my back turned

You ripped it off for me

How stupid

I kept that bandaid on for so long

It's like the cut was never even there

How stupid

I held on for so long

And you were never even there
