Scar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were banging on the doors of heaven before
But we didn't have a chance in hell
Still I tried to save it
My soul hit the floor and it hurt to the core
And I didn't have nobody to tell
Didn't want to face it
[Pre-Chorus]
You cut me deep
It hurt to feel
It's taken time
But wounds, they heal
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
[Verse 2]
There used to be a time I couldn't sleep at night
No, I couldn't dry my eyes
Now I'm done crying
There used to be a time you took all my light
Like nothing was left to find
Now my lights are blinding
We were banging on the doors of heaven before
But we didn't have a chance in hell
Still I tried to save it
My soul hit the floor and it hurt to the core
And I didn't have nobody to tell
Didn't want to face it
[Pre-Chorus]
You cut me deep
It hurt to feel
It's taken time
But wounds, they heal
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
[Verse 2]
There used to be a time I couldn't sleep at night
No, I couldn't dry my eyes
Now I'm done crying
There used to be a time you took all my light
Like nothing was left to find
Now my lights are blinding
[Pre-Chorus]
You cut me deep
It hurt to feel
It's taken time
But wounds, they heal
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
[Bridge]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, I wear it so well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me
Someone who didn't love me (Oh)
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well (Oh)
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
You cut me deep
It hurt to feel
It's taken time
But wounds, they heal
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
[Bridge]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, I wear it so well
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me
Someone who didn't love me (Oh)
[Chorus]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, but I wear it so well
Like, oh well, oh well (Oh)
Now you're just a scar, a time that I fell
For someone who didn't love me well
Like, oh well, oh well
[Outro]
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, I wear it so well
Now you're just a scar, a story I tell
Such an ugly mark, I wear it so well
About
Genius Annotation
“Scar” is the 10th track from British singer-songwriter Foxes' 2016 sophomore album All I Need.
After writing / recording in LA and Wales, Foxes returned to London and decided to put in a few more recording sessions in for the album to tie it together – in these sessions she recorded “Scar,” “Wicked Love” and “Amazing.”
Lyrically the song talks about recovering from a time she fell for someone who didn’t treat her well and how now they are nothing more than just a memory.
