Lyrics
Scar on your Heart Mark Neihart 2018 Whats that scar on your heart The one that time couldn’t heal The one you try to conceal With a smile And a wave of your hand And Are you scared in the dark By the things you can’t see Things, You want there to be And things, You want to go away. CHORUS And I don’t have the answer And I’ll never know why But I….. love you So in the dusk I’ll come find you And I’ll help you get home Cuz I… love you. What’s that tear in your eye Is it why you can’t see And how can such a thing be? For a soul so beautiful And that crack in the mirror The one distorting your view That’s a reflection of you And the way you see the world CHORUS What’s that heart on your sleeve The one that’s battered and bruised By all the love you’ve refused When it greeted you I know you’re trying to get by And I know how hard it can be And I know you’ll never be free While you carry the weight of the world/ CHORUS

Scar on your heart Mark Neihart What’s that scar on your heart The one that time Couldn’t heal The one you try to conceal With your smile and a wave of your hand Are ya scared in the dark? Of the things you can’t see The things you’ld like there to be And the ones you want to go away I don’t have the answer And I’ll never know why But I do care In the dusk I will find you And I’ll help you come home Cuz I’ll be there What’s that tear in your eye Is it why you can’t see? How can such a thing be? For a soul, so beautiful And that crack in the mirror The one distorting your view A reflection of you and the way that you see the world. I don’t have the answer And I’ll never know why But I do care In the dusk I will find you And I’ll help you Cuz I’ll be there What’s that heart on your sleeve The one bloodied and bruised The one held up and used By the world As a tethered ball What’s that heart on your sleeve The one bloodied and bruised By the love you Refused At the door when it greeted you What’s that heart on your sleeve The one bloodied and bruised Excused The one that’s got me confused Why you can’t just let it go. I know you’re trying to get by I know how hard it can be That you can never be free With that weight That you’re carrying. s Excused Misused Puruesd Confused Refused Abused Amused Snoosed
