"Cuts N Bruises" lyrics

I finally found an escape
An endless path forward awaited me
I told them I was running away
I felt strong that day

But life has a way to get you back
(La, la, la, la)
On a more familiar looking track
(La, la, la, la)
It makes you turn around and face the facts
You were born with the scars that you carry

Feeling useless is the name of my autobiography
A lonely girl loses her family and friends
Cuts and bruises
(Cuts and bruises)
Can't seem to go without 'em
My skin is my canvas
My scars are the story I tell
They say pain suits me well

There's nothing you can say to make me believe
(Nothing you can say to make me believe)
Everything is not the way it seems
(Everything is not the way it seems)
History has habits, it repeats
And there's nothing we can do about it

Feeling useless is the name of my autobiography
A lonely girl loses her family and friends
Cuts and bruises
(Cuts and bruises)
Can't seem to go without 'em
My skin is my canvas
My scars are the story I tell
They say pain suits me well

They begged me to stay
But I turned and ran away
There was nothing they could do to prove to me
That life would be better so I left them a letter by the door

Feeling useless is the name of my autobiography
A lonely girl loses her family and friends
Cuts and bruises
(Cuts and bruises)
Can't seem to go without 'em
My skin is my canvas
My scars are the story I tell
They say pain suits me well
