Scars

I am the shadow on your skin Of every fall you've ever taken I am the proof of what you've left behind I am the lasting evidence Of every painful accident Etched on a surface you can't redesign Didn't I teach you not to play with fire Didn't I warn you not to climb so high How many times must I remind you Be on guard Be careful or you'll earn yourself another scar I hate to say "I told you so" But I think your heart already knows Trading your safety brings no guarantees I've heard already you've got plans To reach out and risk yourself again What if the next time I can't stop the bleed? Didn't I teach you not to play with fire Didn't I warn you not to climb so high How many times must I remind you Be on guard Be careful or you'll earn yourself another scar Bruises fade but scars remain Scars remain Time keeps passing what will stay What will stay Bruises fade but scars remain Scars remain Will you remember the healing Or just the pain Didn't I give you all my good advice? Didn't I say that you would pay a price? How many times must I remind you Be on guard Be careful or you'll earn yourself another scar Another scar Another scar
