"Marks On My Neck" lyrics

"Marks On My Neck"

All I got left are the marks on my neck after you let me go
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close, yeah

I should of never have, never have, never opened my heart again
Wasn't worth it
Why did I let you, I let you, I let you get all under my skin
Wasn't worth it

On the surface
You were perfect
But ya didn't really come to stay
Now when I look
In the mirror
I slowly watch you fade away

'Cause all I got left are the marks on my neck after you let me go
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close
Now all I got left are the marks on my neck after you let me go
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close

I tried to cover it, cover it, cover it with foundation
Didn't help it
Try to get over you, over you, over you but you dug in
And I felt it

On the surface
You were perfect
But ya didn't really come to stay
Now when I look
In the mirror
I slowly watch you fade away

'Cause all I got left are the marks on my neck after you let me go
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close
Now all I got left are the marks on my neck after you let me go
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close
It's hard to forget when you messed up my head, 'cause I let you get too close


Writer(s): Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Charlie Puth
Charlie Puth told Apple Music the following story behind "Marks On My Neck", "I was seeing someone new. I remember waking up the next morning with my neck all bruised up, from some unclipped fingernails. And I'm like, 'Oh, my god. I got to cover this up. I'm driving up to see my parents right now.' We lost touch, so the memory of this person started to fade away, as did the marks on my neck. They started to heal. The parallel is interesting—these marks fade the more my memory fades."
