Scars
Papa Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
I'm pissed 'cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is
That I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is
That I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
You fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is
That I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is
That I care too much
And our scars remind us
That the past is real




I tear my heart open
Just to feel

@@jamesdevilliers7053 To all who have questions why my channel description is the way it is:
Then KNOW this:
We are allowed to judge, even called to judge, ourselves and others.
No one personal level, yes, that right we have not, but in general and giving out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT is allowed to do. And not just allowed, expected to do so.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Bible says:
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Short answer, THEY ARE WICKED / workers of darkness.

Royals are not humans, but angel + animal + human hybrid creatures. GOD NEVER CREATED THEM.
Satan did.

Masons are human puppets. The cowards, the fearful, the sell outs, the greedy amongst us, mankind.

My question:
into each of your radar, have my playlists reached?
