You wear your scars
Like they're purple hearts
A victim's award.
You wear your scars
Like they're who you are,
Your birthmarks.
Find another flaw to blame,
Another day to stay the same
But your refrain, your refrain, your refrain
Is I can change, I can change, I can change
You wear your scars
Like they're purple hearts
A victim's award.
You wear your scars
Like they're who you are,
Your birthmarks.
Another story to explain,
Another heart to hold your pain
And your refrain, your refrain, your refrain
Is I can change, I can change, I can change.
That night the frost clothed all the trees
Your arms slipped numbly from their sleeves
Your fingers fumbled through his hair,
And I froze at the bottom of the stairs.
