When
Scar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathing
To stop the Fire of anxiety
Dreaming
The day I get to you
Falling
I’m falling down in misery
Talking
With the ghost of you

And it’s hard to be quiet
And it’s hard to be rough
In this morbid connection
Between passion and love

I fall apart
When you let me down
I quit playing with you
When you let me down
You drag me to hell
When you let me down
So I push you in the flames
when you let me down

Remember the days
When we were so young
Remember the games
And the things that we’ve done

And it’s hard to stay quiet
And it’s hard to stay rough
In this morbid connection
Between passion and love

Daytime and nighttime
Writing your name on these walls
Spending my life
Thinking about you




And it’s hard to stay quiet
And it’s hard to stay alive for you
