"Secondhand Scars" lyrics

"Secondhand Scars"

Empathy's worn, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience a liar
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire

I know life ain't fair to you
I know the hell it's put you through
But it's me that's black and blue
I feel it too, I feel it too
I know your traumas take a toll
I know destruction's how you cope
But it's me you're cutting through
I feel it too, I feel it too

Blood trail walking in your shoes
Two necks hanging in one noose
Can't breathe 'till I cut you loose

Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can't wear your secondhand scars

I know you can't control the past
I know the die's already cast
A sick game you didn't choose
I feel it too, I feel it too

I've held on until my fingers bleed
And break down to give you everything
But who's gonna take care of me?

Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can't wear your secondhand scars

Empathy's worn, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience a liar
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire

All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
(All of my virtues are fuel for your fire)

Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This badge is breaking my heart
I can't wear your secondhand scars

Secondhand scars
Secondhand scars
