Letter For A Scar - (song with recording)

by Maher   Aug 28, 2013


Hello, do you remember who I am?
I'm the one you used to love so much
The one you couldn't have
Here, here is a picture
Do you recognise my face?
Or does it bring a bitter taste?

Well I'm writing you this letter
While I'm still around today
I hope it makes it to your heart
Before I throw it all away
You see, I've loved you for so long
I thought we'd marry here someday
Dreams of lying in the Autumn leaves
While we kiss the sun away

But I never imagined I could f**k things up so bad
That I could pack away the guilt
And leave you stranded there so sad
And I never could get over how I tore your soul away
How I was numb to all your tears
As you were begging me to stay

So I'm writing you this letter
While I'm still alive today
To say how sorry that I am
For throwing all of it away
And I pray that you'll forgive me
Before I'm lowered to my grave
And I wish that you were closer
So I could say this to your face
Even if we start all over
I know the past can't be erased

I'll still be waiting here for you
Until my breath begins to fade
