Lyrics Scarred for Life - Slapp Happy

Scarred for Life

Leave me something to remember you by
More than a lock of your hair
Leave me scarred for life
Show you really care
You can do it with kindness
Keener than a knife
Just by making yourself scarce
You can leave me scarred for life
We walked arm in arm with madness
And every little breeze
Whispered of the secret love
We had for our disease
Leave me something so I won’t forget
More than a nick or a scratch
To remind me than in you I met
In you I met my match
Nothing on the surface
I don’t want it to show
Something I can hide inside
So only you and I will know
You know I’d do the same for you —
Leave me scarred for life
And if we never meet again
For all the time we spent
Leave me with a tender spot
Something permanent
