Tears Scars & Lies
Mista Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot forget all the heartaches you put me through

When I am constantly reminded by the things that you do

I just can't let go of the pain and the hurt inside

When I wear the scars from all the times that you've lied
Gray skies and lonely paths

Thinking about my baby helps me get by

I'm trapped in a world where nobody knows my name

Opinions flying everywhere driving me insane

My momma said there will be days like this

So you better count your pennies cause you might just need a wish

I got to be strong

Continue to hold on

And send a message through the words of this song

I cannot forget all the heartaches you put me through

When I am constantly reminded by the things that you do

I just can't let go of the pain and the hurt inside

When I wear the scars from all the times that you've lied

I've given you all that it took my whole life to learn

But all you gave me were your lies in return

As hard as I tried I can't seem to forgive

All the time you robbed me of all my self respect

Funny how tables turn

When nobody seems to recognize me

I know you tell me keep holdin' on

But my arms aren't strong as they used to be

I cannot forget all the heartaches you put me through

When I am constantly reminded by the things that you do

I just can't let go of the pain and the hurt inside





When I wear the scars from all the times that you've lied
