Scars of Yesterday

You say I can start over That life is what I make it But I never got my closure Till then I'll just fake it Every moment spent in your eyes Every mistake caught in your lies Now more lost than I've ever known This is what it's like to reap what you've sewn Let it all go, but it won't return Self fulfillment - I'll never earn My heart and mind under constant attack I bore your cross, then buried it in my back I just want to be enough But no one taught me how to love Inside, outside, below and above All the shouting, all the taunting I'm the person I've been haunting All this fear that I've been daunting I have been weighed and found wanting I was promised forever and a day But I've learned nothing gold can stay So, I'll just keep cutting away As you tear open the scars of yesterday All I've done is fail Time and time again Guess I'll play this mind game And wait for it to end
