Scarred



So I scared you, did I?
I only wrote the truth
What I feel I can’t deny
Guess I’m foolish in all my youth

My feelings are strong
If yet seldom shown
My truth more often hidden
Than shared
I know I don’t belong
In the world of the known
My dreams are forbidden
They should never have been bared
’Cause now I’m scarred
And you’re scared

So you hide now, do you?
Or maybe I’m just ignored?
I don’t know what you’re going through
Maybe you were just bored

I’d never ask
For anything more
For when I left
That part of me died
I put on my mask
Never show what is sore
I gave - it wasn’t theft
Had I dared I would have tried
But now I’m scarred
And you hide

And I’m scared too
And I want to hide
But of my feelings for you
I could never have lied

But what do you care?
You’re far away
And I’m scarred
